Description

Is there somewhere you’ve quietly stopped going? The supermarket, a busy shop, the train, a night out with friends?

Avoiding it feels safer in the moment. But every time you avoid something, your brain learns it was dangerous, and your world gets a little bit smaller.

In this episode, I show you how to start going back, without throwing yourself in at the deep end. Together we build your first anxiety ladder, step by step.

In this episode:

• Why avoidance keeps anxiety going, even though it feels like it’s helping
• Why “just push through it” so often backfires
• How to build your first ladder, and why you start at a 3 or 4 out of 10
• What to do when anxiety shows up halfway round the shop
• The five mistakes that keep people stuck
• How Sarah went from staying at home to handling busy places and getting promoted

You don’t need to be fearless. You need to be willing.
