It has been a while since I’ve mentioned this; the focus on
the podcast is for folks that have been medically diagnosed with an
anxiety condition or disorder.
However, all are welcome. The over-stressed, the somewhat
anxious or those that are up against it and don’t know what to
do.
Everybody has anxiety. That is normal and necessary. We need
it for our personal safety and awareness that there is a possible
problem or danger. Anxiety’s job is to bring awareness. Not a good
thing or a bad thing.
For some of us, our anxiety alert system is out of whack. Our
brain is on constant high alert. There are symptoms that are hard
to control.
That is the topic of this episode. How do you deal with your
symptoms?
