Hidden Link Between Anxiety and Intelligence

If you're struggling with intense anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, scary intrusive thoughts, depersonalization, and derealization, you probably ask yourself, "Why do I feel like my mind is working against me?" or "Why can't I just enjoy life like everyone else?"

But you must have heard that very smart people often struggle with anxiety – it's a common topic on social media. So maybe it's time to ask yourself, "Is this happening because I'm too smart?"

Just kidding, of course.

But there is some truth to it – actually, there is a link between intelligence and anxiety. Intelligent people often overthink and come up with the worst-case scenarios, which can definitely lead to anxiety.

But I have good news: your high IQ isn't the problem. And that’s exactly what I'm talking about in this episode.

If you join me, I’ll explain why being intelligent doesn't have to mean being anxious. Actually, the whole point is to learn how to use your intelligence as a strength instead of a source of stress.

So let's discover how to turn your intelligence into an ally against anxiety.
