Trauma And Anxiety. Are There Conflicting Messages In Recovery?
Trauma and anxiety often co-exist. That's not news. For many in this community, the lingering effects of traumatic experiences are real, and they can impact the anxiety recovery process. Today I want to take a look at something a little out of the ordinary. I want to talk about how some of the core principles of anxiety recovery might cause confusion and even conflict for those working to overcome trauma.

No new podcast this week, but we'll be back next week with episode 252. I asked my Facebook group which of the old podcast episodes they like the most and these are a few that came up often in the discussion:
- Episode 150: How Do I Talk TO My Anxiety
- Episode 51: Panic Attacks - The Critical Moment of Decision
- The Exposure Episodes: 13, 17, 192 and 226
- Related to Exposure: Episode 116 - Are You Trying To Ignore Your Anxiety?
- I did a short series detailing my personal experience with medication in episodes 145 through 147, and Jenn Swantowski stopped by to share her experience with benzo withdrawal on episode 223.
- Finally, the success story episodes are popular. Search "success story" on my website, on my YouTube channel, or in your podcast app to find those.
And ... check out the new podcast with Joshua Fletcher at https://disordered.fm
I'll see you next week! :-)
