Death anxiety, also known as thanatophobia, can make everyday life feel terrifying. Whether you're afraid of dying unexpectedly, losing someone you love, or simply struggling with the uncertainty of what happens after death, those fears can become so overwhelming that they start controlling your life.In this video, I share my own childhood experience with death anxiety, explain why the fear of death can become so consuming, and explore the different ways it manifests. I'll also walk through practical strategies for managing death anxiety, including finding meaning, accepting uncertainty, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and learning to redirect your attention.You can't eliminate the possibility of death. But you can learn to live without letting that possibility take away the life you have.
I know what it is to feel hopelessly stuck and worthless to the world in general. I also know what it is to live without those feelings. I’m both a Clinical Psychology specializing in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, and a human who has spent more than a decade managing sever depression and anxiety.
