In this episode, I sit down with Danielle to talk about our personal struggles with anxiety. We both grew up with some pretty tough stuff – my dad had schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and Danielle was raised in an alcoholic home.
We dive deep into how that trauma can really mess with your mental health. But the good news is, there's a way out. It's all about understanding where your anxiety comes from and being kind to yourself.
Danielle shares how she healed from panic attacks and agoraphobia by connecting with her inner child and practicing self-compassion.
So if you're dealing with anxiety, this episode is for you. Let's break down those walls and find some healing together.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
