Unless You’ve Had Anxiety…

you can never really know how it feels.

This week we're responding to a comment left on our Facebook page:

"People that haven't lived it will never understand the terror."

We respond with empathy and loving kindness. Here are a few talking points in this week's episode: 

• Open up a dialogue with someone you trust.
• What have you learned through your experience with anxiety?
• Those who have suffered with anxiety can open our hearts, support and empathize with others.
• Commune with groups of people who understand. 
• Seek out supportive materials to help you calm your anxious mind.

When you feel overwhelmed with anxiety having understanding support is essential. Sometimes we've found help from "friends" we haven't even met. Insightful authors like Louise Hay and Claire Weeks have been witnesses and friends to thousands of people suffering with emotional pain, stress and anxiety.

In your search for understanding remember to look at blogs, podcasts, books and audio support. We recoomend that you gather a collection of supportive material from people who really do understand what you are going through - whether you know them or not.

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”

― Leo Buscaglia

We recently posted this question on our Facebook page: Are you suffering with anxiety? Please share your fear here and we'll address your concerns in an upcoming slayer session.

In this week's podcast we are continuing to offer self-help solutions to the anxiety questions we received in the comments on facebook.

This week's session: "I can't seem to escape worry. It seems no sooner does one worry end, then another replaces it."

Talking points for this week's episode:

• Shann and Ananga share real life examples about the nature of worry.
• We share how you can be rid of persistent unwanted thoughts by using Bach Flower Remedies & EFT Tapping.
• Ask for help. Talk to someone you know, like and trust. Get your worry off your chest with a supportive witness.

EFT self-help script: "Even though it's in my nature to worry, I love and accept myself completely."
