Listener Questions About Anxiety & Recovery (Episode 114)

This week Drew and Josh are answering questions from listeners. Questions addressed in this episode include:

Is it "normal" to feel a letdown after completing and big successful exposure/challenge?
What work can we do to address the fawn response?
Isn't a panic attack a medical emergency? How can it possibly be safe to experience panic?!
Staying off social media is good for mental health, right? But is that anxiety avoidance?
How can I learn how to NOT tense my body? It's such a habit now!

We're also hearing from inspiring "Did It Anyways" and inserting the usual doses of humor and compassion as we address anxiety and anxiety disorders.

Thanks to the entire Disordered listening community for sending in questions, wins, and for supporting our work. We appreciate you!
