In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Amber Benziger, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety. Amber shares her own journey with anxiety and how she ended up working with those also struggling with anxiety in a clinical capacity. We discuss both overthinking and rumination and how they relate to and manifest in anxiety disorders. Amber also gives listeners some tools to reduce their engagement in overthinking and rumination. We discuss how self-compassion can be a helpful tool in managing anxiety, as well as self-acceptance when it comes to having anxiety. Amber also discusses how anxiety is a natural emotion we all experience and how anxiety and anxiety disorders may manifest differently for different people.
