Dr Julie: What to do when fear shows up

CAROLINE FORAN
About this episode

Dr Julie returns to Owning It to talk about her new book, Open When - which offers real time practical advice for a series of anxiety inducing scenarios - as well as her own personal experience with having been diagnosed with breast cancer just last year. When your body feels enormous fear for something as tangible as a health concern, is anxiety something we should even try not to feel? Dr Julie also talks about how to proceed when a friendship is causing you anxiety and plenty more. Her book is out now.
