Description

A little anxiety can be a good thing. It sharpens our senses and prepares us to take on challenges. But what happens when anxiety becomes overwhelming and begins to take over our lives? How can we learn to manage and eventually overcome anxiety?

For children and adults with anxiety who act solely based on nervous feelings, the world can become very small. Our desperate attempts to avoid discomfort and uncertainty only fuels our anxiety, and avoidance locks it in place. We become frozen by fear.

Dr. Merle's guest this week, Dr. Dawn Huebner, a clinical psychologist, explains the steps in taking back control of your life. She tells us how anyone, at any age, can conquer these debilitating fears by learning to face them rather than running from them.
