Self-Worth, Anxiety, and Finding Balance in a Chaotic World With DR. Clodagh Campbell

Dr. Clodagh Campbell, known as The Wellness Psychologist, shares her personal journey with anxiety as an adopted child and reveals how understanding yourself through psychology can transform both how you feel and how you live your life. • How adoption and early separation created lifelong patterns of anxiety and abandonment fears • The breaking point that led Clodagh to reevaluate her priorities and slow down • Why anxiety often stems from trying to prove our worth through endless achievement • How pregnancy-related illness forced a complete pause that ultimately brought clarity • The importance of identifying what can "give" in your life when everything feels overwhelming • Using the "four Ds" approach to manage overwhelm: do, delete, delegate, delay • The difference between managing anxiety symptoms and healing underlying trauma • Why boundaries are essential, particularly for those caring for others • How becoming a mother changed Clodagh's relationship with her self-worth • The unique challenges of being a highly sensitive person If you're struggling with anxiety, self-worth, or feeling overwhelmed, pick up Dr. Campbell's book "The Steps" - available in all good bookstores and online now.
