How to Stop the SHAME Spiral of Anxiety

One of the unspoken issues around anxiety recovery is dealing with the difficult emotion of shame. The shame emotion is more toxic than you think, and it can really hold you back.

When I was 18, I could just hop on a plane and travel internationally without a second thought.

But then anxiety hit. And hit hard.

Suddenly, I couldn't even leave my house. The contrast was jarring, and the shame... oh, the shame was overwhelming.

I felt like I'd lost myself. Like I'd never be "me" again.

Sound familiar?

If you're nodding along, thinking, "That's exactly how I feel," then I've got something that might just change your life.

In this video, I offer practice advice on how to detach from the narratives behind shame by treating it as another symptom of anxiety.

I'm talking about:

• The toxic effect shame has on your recovery (and how to neutralize it)
• Why your emotions might intensify as you start to heal (and why that's actually a good thing)
• The unexpected reaction I got when I finally opened up about my anxiety
• How this struggle can become your superpower

But the best part? I'll show you how to turn this experience into your "staff of wisdom" – giving you an unfair advantage in life that most people never get.

Watch the video for the full episode. It might just be the turning point in your anxiety!
