97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane

97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane

Zoe and Jo have a fascinating conversation with therapist and former NHS Mental Health Lead Owen O’Kane. Owen suggests that by working with our anxiety rather than against it we can often see better results. He offers lots of tips and advice about how we can change our relationship with anxiety, and reassures us that we are not alone in dealing with it.

Owen’s book Addicted To Anxiety is Out Now.

As Owen says in the interview, if you feel you need support, do reach out to your GP. More information can be found on the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/mental-health-services/how-to-find-local-mental-health-services/
