Join hosts Mathew Blades and Dr. David Leicken as they engage with Dr. Friedemann Schaub, author of "The Fear and Anxiety Solution" and "The Empowerment Solution." Dr. Schaub shares his journey of growing up with anxious parents who survived World War II, revealing how their fears shaped his own anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. He discusses the conditional self-esteem tied to accomplishments and the constant need for external validation.

The conversation delves into the subconscious mind's role in anxiety, using the iceberg analogy to illustrate how much of our mental processes occur below conscious awareness. Mathew Blades shares his experience with Transcendental Meditation, highlighting its benefits in slowing down racing thoughts and creating space for self-reflection.

Notable quotes:

- "I'm only conditionally loved. Only if I have good grades, I can have acceptance. If not, I'm doomed." - Dr. Friedemann Schaub

- "There's nothing that couldn't be fixed by going and sitting down in another room for a couple of hours, you know, and just getting quiet and figuring that piece out." - Mathew Blades

- "It's not about making big changes necessarily. It's about little things done consistently over a long period of time." - Dr. David Leicken

Explore the power of meditation, self-reflection, and the importance of small, consistent changes in overcoming anxiety. Discover how to harness the potential of the subconscious mind and develop self-respect and acceptance independent of achievements.
