Common Myth About Anxiety

I often hear a common myth about anxiety when I meet for the first time with someone in session and they explain to me that their goal is in getting rid of it.  Problem with this is simple:   We can't.    You cannot get rid of anxiety.     You can learn what it is, how it becomes activated, how to manage it, and lessen its effects.   In this episode, I explain why we cannot get away from anxiety, what the function of it is, and ways to manage your psychological flexibility so you can learn how to use anxiety to your advantage.
