Psychotherapist Owen O'Kane: Why we're addicted to anxiety
1Description
Owen O’Kane, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Ten to Zen and Addicted to Anxiety, joins the Men’s Health podcast to deliver a powerful, myth-busting conversation about modern mental health – especially for men.
He explains why high-functioning anxiety often hides in plain sight, how we can become unknowingly addicted to worry, and why therapy shouldn’t always feel comfortable. Drawing from decades of clinical experience – and his own upbringing during the Troubles in Northern Ireland – Owen shares insights on emotional repression, toxic resilience, and the cost of never slowing down.
He also opens up about working with palliative care patients, what men get wrong about strength, and how to build a better relationship with anxiety – one grounded in awareness, not avoidance.
