Everyone worries—it’s a perfectly human thing to do. But for some, worry is constant and all-consuming. It can even feel gut-wrenching at times when it’s out of control. Worry can not only make us feel emotionally drained and mentally overwhelmed but can also take a toll on our physical health, disrupting sleep and affecting our ability to focus and enjoy life. When we worry, our attention is dragged into the future, leaving everything that's right in front of us out of reach.
This episode is packed full of practical ideas to help you tame your worried mind, or support someone else who worries a lot. Dr Jodi is joined by Psychologist Harriet Iles who talks about the different ways we respond to stress, explains exactly what worry is, the role it plays in our lives, the difference between productive and unproductive worry and what we can do to help manage our worries and move through our anxiety.
