#37 – Fear Party
So I thought I had totally conquered by my driving anxiety.
But this week, out of nowhere, it came back.
I was just minding my own business, driving down the highway. And hit me like a big wave.
At first, I was like, WTAF. I thought I fixed this shit!
There was also that feeling of: I teach other people how to work through fear, so this is totally unacceptable and shameful.
But then, I had to use ALL MY TOOLS to get out of that fear, and it kind of felt like a bit of a final exam of everything I've learned.
In fact, it felt like a big old fear party in my head.
So in today's episode, I'm going to share some of the realities of working with really strong emotions.
How you have to be tenacious.
And that healing almost never looks like a straight line.
Enjoy, and if you can relate, check out the invite to my upcoming Fear Party workshop in the show notes!
