Pt 1: Are You Addicted To Anxiety? | Owen O’Kane

Owen O’Kane is a psychotherapist with over 25 years clinical experience and is regarded as one of the UK’s leading and most trusted mental health experts.


He is a Sunday Times bestselling author, and his book ‘Addicted to Anxiety’ explores whether there is an addictive component to anxiety.


In part 1, Owen joins Dr Alex George to unpack how we can become attached to the process of anxiety and how even though it can be uncomfortable, anxiety ultimately operates as a protective mechanism…


Plus, the pair discuss their experiences of anxiety and tips to manage anxious thoughts.
