44: What to do when anxiety strikes (or any big emotion) - RERELEASE
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I'm re-releasing one of my most popular episodes. Given the state of the world at the moment, the tools you'll learn in this episode have never been more useful or needed.
In the episode, I walk you through a simple, three-step process for bringing self-compassion into any big emotion.
You’ll learn:
- Why emotions like anxiety are not a personal flaw, but your body’s way of keeping you safe
- The fastest way to calm your nervous system (hint: it starts with your hands, not your thoughts)
- The short kindness script that replaces self-criticism with care in under a minute
- A client story that shows how quickly this can shift how you feel
You’ll finish the episode knowing exactly what to do the next time emotion takes over: Normalise. Touch. Kindness.
Because you’re not your emotions — you have emotions.
And that means you can work with them, not against them.
