In this episode of Us Anxious Folk, I dive deep into the topic of fear — how it shows up for those of us living with anxiety, how we try to suppress it, and the creative ways it leaks out into our lives.

I talk about my own experiences with the fear as an emotion, and how I've learned that pushing it down can turn into irrational thoughts and slew of spicy physical symptoms. I discuss the idea of making space for fear instead of battling it — letting it speak, acknowledging its presence, and recognizing the deeper fears beneath our surface worries.

We'll go through a journaling exercise of writing a letter to fear, and how doing this it helped me see that so many of my anxieties come back to a core fear of not being accepted or making the wrong choices.

If you’ve ever felt like fear was something you just can't escape from, I hope this episode gives you some food for thought and some compassion for yourself along the way.
