In this episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast, I’m chatting with another MBRX student, Katherine from Calgary.
Katherine's got a story to tell – she's been dealing with anxiety her whole life, it’s been a tough road, and it got really tough when her dad got sick and passed away when she was a kid.
We talk about different ways to manage anxiety, like meditation and body-focused therapies, how childhood trauma can stick with you, and how important it is to connect with your emotions and heal.
It's all about creating a safe space for yourself and being kind to your mind and body.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
