In fact he had been avoiding job opportunities due to his anxiety, which he described as “anelephant sitting on my chest when trying to talk”. He had gone to a psychiatrist for help, but did not like the medication route.

More descriptive more assistive.

I believe the author of this podcast had good intentions and it was interesting hearing the descriptive nature of each disorder, but there was not much useful information to implement strategies on overcoming these disorders. he did talk about one breathing technique as well as understanding your level of anxiety, and practicing your understanding each level, but that's about all I got out of it.

Not much help here. Brought in politics.

Well, door expect much help here. He does a terrible job at interviewing people and comes off ad very cold and impersonal.

don't expect any tips or assistance at all if you're dealing with anxiety and fear of public speaking. you won't get none here.
You'll just hear story after story of what people went through.

also, it was annoying that he felt the need to unnecessarily bring in how mad he was that Trump lied about the virus. He must be getting his news from CNN and he fell for their leftist agendas.
Don't bring your politics into a podcast about things that have nothing to do with Trump.
the Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, folks.
Pass on this. No help at all.
