You didn't get #anxiety because there is something fundamentally flawed about you. In this episode Elle unpacks how anxiety is tied to our stories and how #generationaltrauma plays a part.
Unpacking Anxiety: Understanding Its Roots and Reactions
In this episode of the Phoenix Effect podcast, narrative trained therapists Elle, Kristen, and Dennis explore the distinctions between anxiety and fear, drawing insights from Hilary Jacobs Hindel. They delve into how early experiences with emotions like sadness, grief, anger, and fear shape our anxiety as adults. They discuss the impact of parenting styles, religious teachings, and generational trauma on emotional regulation. The podcast also offers practical steps for raising awareness and kindness toward our emotional experiences and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate these concepts.
