In this episode, I sat down with happiness expert Emma Seppala to talk about anxiety.
Emma shares her personal story and how she found relief through a simple breathing technique.
We dive deep into the science behind anxiety and discuss why breathing can be a powerful tool for managing it.
Plus, we'll challenge some of the traditional approaches to therapy and explore why a holistic approach, focusing on both mind and body, is key to lasting happiness.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
