Show Notes

In this podcast episode, DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco talked about the importance of accepting anxiety and not engaging in the fight against it. They highlighted the concept of acceptance along with the idea that trying too hard to change thoughts can be counterproductive. They advise the audience to stop involving themselves in the looping thoughts and urges caused by anxiety and instead practice acceptance and defusion techniques to change their relationship with anxiety.

Aida and Michelle also touched on the relationship between anxiety and fatigue, where constantly fighting anxiety throughout the day can lead to exhaustion.
