Disordered: Anxiety Help26 Tammi 2024

Anxiety Recovery: Worse Before Better? (Episode 46)

"Is it normal for my symptoms, or thoughts, or my anxiety to get worse when I start engaging in recovery?"

Even Dr. Claire Weekes acknowledged this experience when writing about recovery many years ago. This week on Disordered we're talking about feeling MORE when you stop hiding from anxiety. This is often misinterpreted as "getting worse" but feeling more doesn't mean your anxiety, your symptoms, or your thoughts are getting worse.

It's OK to feel things. The recovery process is about learning how to get better at feeling things. You can feel all the things and still be safe. xx
