This is the second episode about trauma and the connection to grief and anxiety and how some of the symptoms of trauma and grief are similar to anxiety.
The goal of the podcast is to share what I have learned and continue to learn about having an anxiety condition or disorder.
I am not a medical or mental health professional. I am a fellow traveler who has experienced some of the frustrations and blocks to treatment. I want your path to be a bit easier than mine.
