Description

In this episode of the AnxietyRX Podcast, we're diving deep into the messy world of anxiety, family drama, and career blues.


My guest, Michelle - another MBRX student - is an internal auditor who's been on quite a journey. She has tried everything from CBT to IFS to brain spotting to tackle her anxiety, and she's finally figuring it out.


We're talking about how her job didn't quite fit and how family issues were adding to the stress, exploring the importance of self-awareness, the role of safety in therapy, and finding healthy coping strategies.


Michelle's story is a real eye-opener. It's a powerful reminder that healing isn't always easy, but it's totally possible. Tune in to hear more!


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