Should you fight your anxiety… or feel it fully?
Most people are stuck between suppressing their emotions or over-processing them—and both keep anxiety alive.
In this episode, I break down the right way to respond to anxiety so it actually resolves instead of repeating.
If you want to feel in control of your emotions without ignoring them or getting stuck in them, this is the episode you need to hear.
Welcome to Mental Health Mastery where we talk about how to reduce anxiety and depression dramatically, how to move past a lifestyle of just "coping" with bad mental health, and how to have lasting, daily peace of mind. I share the many lessons learned by going from suicidal to depression and anxiety-free in my own life and what I've learned helping 513 clients reclaim control of their own mental health. We believe you deserve to have significant mental health, and we're excited to help you learn how to have it—hosted by Ty Hicks.
