38 分钟What if I asked you a question that completely changes the way you think about anxiety and you think about your inner experience of having anxiety,
uncertainty, dread, distress, panic, and so forth?
What would happen if you stopped hating anxiety?
This is what we're going to explore today and what you're going to find is the fact that you hate your experience of anxiety might be what's creating a lot of unnecessary suffering.
Now I know you're probably thinking Kimberley of course I hate anxiety.
It is uncomfortable.
It makes me sweat.
It makes me my tummy hurt.
It makes my heart race.
I hate uncertainty and anxiety and that's the problem and I've just got to figure out how to get it to go away and I get it.
We've all been there.
but science suggests.
that our relationship with our internal experience can be what increases or decreases our own suffering.
And what I want us to do today is explore, number one, why you hate anxiety, because I get it.
I hate it too sometimes.
But what we can do differently so that you can have a better relationship with your internal world and you can move on to reduce that suffering and go and live the life that you want.
So let's do this together.
First of all, hello and welcome.
My name is Kimberly Quinlan.
You're here at your anxiety toolkit podcast.
