Reimagining Anxiety: A New Approach to a Global Challenge | ES187
Anxiety, often seen as a relentless adversary, is in fact, deeply ingrained in our evolutionary story. It's like having a built-in smoke detector or burglar alarm to alert us to potential threats. But when anxiety becomes chronic and overwhelming – when the alarm goes off for no apparent reason - it can hold us back, trapping us in a cycle of anticipation, obsession, and self-doubt. Eventually, we settle to exist in a shrinking comfort zone, afraid to step out and explore our full potential.The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way! By learning to manage our responses to anxiety and identifying its triggers, we can expand our comfort zones and reclaim the freedom to live boldly. Remember, anxiety is not our enemy; it's a misguided protector waiting to be understood. By embracing this perspective, we can transform anxiety from a hindrance into a guide that helps us navigate through life with resilience and courage. Let's start that journey today!Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution. Dr. Schaub has helped thousands of people with his Personal Breakthrough and Empowerment program to overcome their fear and anxiety by addressing the deeper, subconscious root causes of these emotional challenges.Learn more at: https://DrFriedemann.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com//DrFriedemannINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dr.friedemannschaubPINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/drfriedemannTWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/DrFriedemannSLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfriedemannschaub/

Does Anxiety Bring Out the Worst in You? - Here is How to Reverse This | ES185
I understand this may be controversial. Based on my own history and the countless clients I have helped overcome anxiety, let me tell you one ‘awful’ truth: If we are not mindful of how we respond to anxiety, the chronic urge for self-protection can lead to us becoming lesser versions of ourselves. Trust me, I know that anxiety is not a choice – and certainly not our fault. And I have nothing but compassion and understanding for anyone who suffers from anxiety. However, what we can’t do is let our unhealthy reactions to anxiety become our identity and overshadow the best parts of who we are.In this week’s episode of Empowerment Solutions, we explore how anxiety-triggered self-preservation can bring out our shadows. We also discuss how, instead of succumbing to its demands for immediate relief, we can respond to anxiety with calmness, care, and compassion and thus foster a deep trust in and appreciation for ourselves. This isn't just another podcast episode; it's an opportunity to transform your relationship with anxiety and embrace a life of empowerment and authenticity.
