Description

In this episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Adam Wright as we explore the powerful connection between trauma, resilience, and well-being.


I dive into why I believe the traditional medical focus on medication isn't enough and why a holistic approach, including spiritual healing, is so important.


Dr. Holton shares his thoughts on how having a clear sense of purpose and value-based goals can help us unlock our full potential.


Dr. Wright offers insights from sports psychology, explaining how controlled exposure to stress is key to building resilience.


We wrap up by discussing the concept of "anti-fragility" — how, with the right support, we can actually thrive through adversity.


Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
