What It Means to Accept Anxiety

Abbie Tabbilos Season 1 Episode 4

If you are a person with anxiety, then you've definitely heard someone say something like, "Resisting anxiety only strengthens it. You just have to accept your anxiety and then things will get better." But so often, those people don't explain what accepting anxiety actually means!

In this episode, we'll dive into everything you need to know about how to accept anxiety's presence in your life WITHOUT submitting yourself to a bleak, anxiety-filled future. 

In addition, we'll cover:

  • What it really means to accept anxiety
  • How to be more open and flexible with your emotions
  • How to change your relationship with anxiety (and all of your emotions)
  • How to let go of fear and resistance to anxiety
