Anxiety Relapse and How to Get Through It

In this podcast Shann and Ananga talk about what causes setbacks or relapses on the road to recovery from anxiety and how you can best support yourself when you hit a bump in the road.

 

 

Discussion points include: 

• What causes someone to experience a relapse?

• Setbacks from surprising places (non-prescription medications, caffeine, alcohol, recreational drugs, change, environment, hormonal changes)

• How can you best support yourself when you think you are having a set back? What helps, what hinders?

• The fear of never being free from anxiety.

• The importance of valuing small steps, and developing a high priority for self care.

• The importance of recommitting to self care when you feel challenged by increased symptoms.

• The power that comes from taking care of the little things and how to build a sense of triumph over adversity.
