It's Not You, It's Anxiety!
It's Not You, It's Anxiety is a podcast for people who are anxious, but haven't found relief from the usual anxiety help, and feel like there must be something wrong with THEM!
Overwhelmed, tired of overthinking, and exhausted, they're ready for a compassionate and straightforward way to understand and work with anxiety — especially in the current world we’re in.
Hosted by Licensed Professional Counselor and coach Jessica Richards, this mental health podcast blends psychology, compassion, and Jessica's insight as a counselor and as a person who struggled with anxiety and had to figure it out herself. It's time to make sense of your anxiety, ease constant worry and judgement, and believe in and trust yourself.
Anxiety isn’t your fault. You're not the problem. Your anxiety actually makes sense and there is a way to work with it.
Learn how to understand and work with your anxiety...with kindness, compassion, and no judgement (even in these wild times).
