Anxiety Recovery: What Is White Knuckling And How Do I Stop Doing It? (Ep 023)

Anxiety Recovery: What Is White Knuckling And How Do I Stop Doing It? (Ep 023)

White knuckling. What is it? Why do we use that phrase all the time in the context of anxiety recovery? This week Drew and Josh talk about what "white knuckling" means in recovery, why it's a natural and expected part of the process for almost everyone, and how to kindly and compassionately take small incremental steps toward letting go of your tight grip.


How do you stop white-knuckling and holding on so tightly when anxious and afraid? A little bit at a time. :-)
