Spilling the Truth About Anxiety With Drew Linsalata of The Anxious Truth | EP 00

Joining us for today's podcast episode is Drew Linsalata, the creator and host of The Anxious Truth - a panic, anxiety, and mental health podcast that’s been in full swing since 2014.

In this podcast episode, Drew together with our DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco, fearlessly spilled the truth about all things anxiety - from "anxious blushing" to "the urge to always control something" down to "health anxiety" and a whole lot more.

We hope you'll find this episode helpful. Enjoy listening!

Thank you so much for this podcast. It boils down to TRUSTING the process and trusting that things will work out. Trust it will work out.

I've had DPDR since age 16..I'm now 54. It caused me to have panic attacks and agoraphobia...I did a billion therapies, counseling, etc..trying to get to the bottom of it. There was definitely stress and trauma when it started...I analyzed and did EMDR, inner child therapy, and probably have had 10 therapists over the years ...I had to learn to live with it...period. I got super awesome at living with it until perimenopause and loss...deaths..pandemic isolation....The intensity increased, and my ability to be chill with DPDR lessened....The last few years have been super hard....but I did find Drew's podcast, and found a great anxiety specialist that have similar ideas to Drew and also the DARE ideas....It's still super rough but I can do more and let go more...Will I have DPDR forever? Maybe...Will it be on high alert all the time, probably not....We will see....

That “slipping away” sensation he talks about is one that I’ve experienced over and over. It’s pretty weird and you do think you’re slipping away.

What about if you feel a general (sometimes strong) “background” tension or anxiety (with a mix of depression) that just lingers. What do I “run towards”? I try to just have a “normal day” despite the discomfort. Is that the correct thing to do??

[julies]

What about if uou also have trauma such as cptsd? Does that change anything about this proscription tp deal with anxiety?

40:52 so DARE is no good for worry over things?

I have no fear of symption but I feel pain and pain only. I feel tension all over the body where I have no control. Sometimes I am unable to withstand such pain. Why physical tension is so much even though I do not fear the symptiom?

I have that feeling where "I have to get to the ground" was really weird the other night, I was having a panic attack when I was leaning over the sofa, next thing I know I'm laying on the floor 🤔🤔🤔 honestly don't remember getting on the floor this time haha

Can you please make more shorter clips on how to reduce stress and anxiety? It gets too long to listen to when the brain isn't around.
