Panicogenic Relaxation: Why You Feel Anxious When Feeling CalmYou're finally feeling better. The anxiety has lifted. You're relaxed and calm for the first time in months or even years. So why does that feel so weird? And why are you suddenly anxious about feeling calm?In this episode, Drew and Josh explore "panicogenic relaxation". This is a common experience in anxiety disorder recovery where feeling normal, neutral, or relaxed can trigger concern or even high anxiety and panic. When you've been anxious for so long, that heightened state becomes your predictable default. The absence of anxiety can feel unfamiliar, strange, or even threatening.In this episode, we discuss:Why feeling calm or relaxed can feel uncomfortable or even scary during recoveryHow your brain's scanning mechanisms continue even when you're no longer anxiousWhy anxiety becomes a "predictable pillar" after long periods of struggleThe importance of practicing being relaxed, not just practicing being anxiousHow the shock-attention-resistance cycle continues even when you're feeling betterWhy all emotional states - including calm - need to be permissibleHow to recognize when you're still checking and monitoring even during neutral statesWe also share inspiring "Did It Anyway" stories from the community, including someone who kept pushing through fatigue to go to new places, and another who took their first step away from 13 years of self-medication.---Want a way to ask questions about this episode or interact with other Disordered listeners?  The Disordered app is nearing release! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our home page and get on our mailing list for more information..---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

Send in a question or comment via text.Sometimes life throws real challenges at us—loss, relationship changes, health concerns, financial struggles—that naturally trigger anxiety. But when you're dealing with an anxiety disorder, these moments become especially confusing. How do you tell the difference between "normal" anxiety and disordered anxiety? And what do you do when recovery concepts don't seem to apply?In this episode, we explore what happens when bad things really do happen in life and trigger genuine anxiety. We'll talk about why not all anxiety is disordered anxiety, how anxiety disorders create a unique challenge when facing legitimate life stressors, and why there are no tricks or hacks to make these feelings instantly disappear.If you've ever found yourself struggling with big emotions during difficult life events and wondering how you're "supposed to" handle them, this episode may help you understand what's actually happening—and offer a more compassionate perspective on being human during challenging times.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/330Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

In this episode, we explore why anxiety can seem to appear for no reason at all. We look more closely at the role of the threat response and uncover why it actually makes sense that we feel anxious. There is always a reason, even if it's not the one we expect.

Anxiety Is Never a Helpful Lens for Your Life's Focus – “Do not be anxious about your life . . . seek his kingdom” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Put a name on the cause of your anxiety and offer it to the Lord in prayer. Anxiety is never a helpful lens though which to focus your life. As Jesus tells you, in Luke 12:22,31, that you should not be anxious and to seek first the Kingdom of God: “And he said to his disciples, ‘Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on . . . Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you . . .'”. Also, Paul tells us, in Philippians 4:14, that: “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. As a follower of Jesus today, why are you anxious? Remember, you have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I press on toward His goal for me. (Philippians 3:12f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Luke 12:22-34; Matthew 6:31; Isaiah 35:4; Philippians 4:4-9; Psalms 78c:25-36. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

In this episode, we explore why people with anxiety disorders often feel anxious most of the day. To understand this, we need to look at the body's threat response, the system designed to protect us but which can become overactive and misfiring. I talk about how this response fuels our symptoms, how we interact with it, and what keeps it going. Drawing on both my own experiences and my work as a therapist, we'll start to make sense of why anxiety can feel so constant.

The Panic Pod returns after a four-year break. In this first episode, we go back to where it all began. If you're anxious, confused, and don't know where to start, or if you've consumed endless self-help content and still don't feel better, take a breath and join me here. I'll walk you through how, as both a therapist and a former sufferer, we find our way back to a good place again.

Contact Welcomed HereBefore discussing the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and how they can be applied to all compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts consider this: Identifying the mental problem of addiction, like diagnosing any disease, includes the individual identifying with the problem as the one who may have the problem. If we are free to choose what and how we think - then we are each solely able to determine how and what we do with problems and suffering we create. Focal points: The steps are based on principles. Responsiblity, Choice and Freedom are all Absolute Natural States of human nature. Consideration is an awakened eyes wide open deliberation as a meditative contemplation. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and Order of our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.

Whether it's 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it's running your life. That's why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again. I'm answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I'll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn't make you broken. This isn't about being “fixed.” It's about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.

In this episode, I'm unpacking silent resentment — the kind that builds when we either try to communicate and feel ignored, or never communicate at all because we hope someone will just get it.You'll learn how silent resentment forms, what it costs you emotionally, and how emotional intelligence can help you break the cycle — so you can finally say what you mean without guilt, fear, or shutdown.Ready for the mini-programs?

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Feeling that "revving engine" of a mind that won't quit, or the "brick on your chest" that makes it hard to breathe, even when you're smiling and checking off the to-do list? What if that high-functioning anxiety isn't a spiritual failure, but an invitation to experience God's power in your weakness? This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, join Jamie as she chats with author, speaker, and (in)courage editor, Becky Keife, about her powerful new devotional, A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul. Drawing from her own 11-year journey with a clinical anxiety disorder, Becky shares transparently about the physical reality of anxiety—the "coffee jitters," the "revving engine," and the overwhelming fatigue—and the isolation of looking "fine" on the outside. She dismantles the stigma that anxiety is a spiritual failing, reframing it as a "gift" that acts as an arrow straight to God's heart. From the "beauty of AND" (holding the truth that you are anxious and full of faith) to the "unforced rhythms of grace" found in Jesus' yoke in Matthew 11, this episode blends deep spiritual anchors with practical, holistic "peace practices." Jamie and Becky get real about everything from the power of a simple hug, to the impact of hormones, and the first brave step of telling someone you're not okay. It's a lifeline for any woman who feels overwhelmed, misunderstood, or alone in her struggle, offering validation and a path back to the Prince of Peace. You won't want to miss this deeply validating, hope-filled conversation.

Stephen and Megan dive into the ideas behind Jonathan Haidt's bestselling book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Together, they unpack how the rise of smartphones and the decline of play-based childhood have shaped an entire generation.In this conversation, Stephen explains Haidt's core argument that childhood was “rewired” around 2012 — trading outdoor play, social learning, and healthy risk for screen-based connection, comparison, and constant distraction. They explore how this great rewiring has uniquely impacted both boys and girls, why young adults today are more anxious and lonely than ever, and how we can begin reclaiming what was lost.You'll walk away with practical ways to manage your attention, pursue real-world relationships, and rediscover presence in a digital world that never stops scrolling.Be sure to subscribe today so you never miss an episode!4 Key Takeaways:Own Your Attention.

"If your kids went through puberty on a smartphone with social media, they came out different than human beings before” says Jonathan Haidt, author of the bestseller “The Anxious Generation.”He argues that childhood is now phone-based instead of play-based, resulting in anxious and depressed kids. "They know that life would be better if they didn't spend five or six hours a day on social media. They know that, but they can't help it” says Haidt. But not all researcher agree. I challenge Haidt with the criticism. In our podcast, Haidt responds, and lays out his best advice to protect kids from smartphones.

Philippians 4:2-7; Matthew 6:25-34 The Rev. Dan Marotta

In this episode of the Child Anxiety FAQ Podcast, Dawn Friedman addresses a listener's question about whether to step in and help a child calm down or focus on teaching distress tolerance. Dawn explains how child anxiety leads to avoidance, not just of feared objects or situations, but also of the discomforting feelings themselves. She discusses strategies to help children tolerate these feelings, providing real-world examples. Additionally, Dawn examines how a parent's own anxiety can fuel their child's anxiety and shares various methods families can use to manage these challenging situations. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing feelings rather than immediately striving for calm.00:00 Introduction to Child Anxiety FAQ Podcast00:43 Understanding Child Anxiety and Avoidance01:39 Practical Example: Dealing with Fear of Spiders03:18 Teaching Distress Tolerance06:05 Parental Anxiety and Its Impact08:09 Strategies for Managing Meltdowns10:46 Creating an Exposure Plan11:31 Conclusion and How to Submit Questions

You're doing “the talk wrong and I'll help you fix it.First, think - an avoidant brain is not a secure brain. You can't talk to it like it's an emotionally healthy brain.We think we have to soft talk an avoidant but they are really looking at you thinking - “ I got this exactly where I want it.”I spoke kindly and softy for decades and that got me nothing but breadcrumbs and disrespect.ps: these tips are only for the emotionally immature.I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

S7 E1: Parenting anxious youth w/Dr. Meredith Elkins and Dr. Julia Martin BurchIn this episode, Gerald and Alexis sit down to chat with child psychologists who have expertise in parenting anxiety youth - Dr. Meredith Elkins and Dr. Julia Martin Burch. Anxiety has been a term used more often than ever in the past few decades, with mental health awareness making large strides. However, at the same time, youth mental health has actually declined during this time. It has been argued that psychological and social interventions need to be at the forefront of supporting youth's mental health. In our discussion, we address topics like what contributes to anxiety coming about in the first place, how anxiety gets maintained, communication patterns, parental concerns about whether to encourage bravery versus accommodating avoidance, problem-solving, societal pressures faced by parents, and much more. Dr. Meredith Elkins is a clinical psychologist specializing in the research and treatment of anxiety and related disorders in children, adolescents, and parents. She is a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and Co-Program Director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital, an intensive outpatient program for anxious youth. She also maintains a private practice focused on anxiety in new and expectant mothers and in parents navigating the challenges of raising children. Her work is grounded in the conviction that supporting parents is essential to helping children thrive.Julia Martin Burch, PhD is a clinical child psychologist and founder and director of Do What Works, a group practice based in Boston (and also providing virtual therapies in other states) dedicated to providing evidence-based therapy to young people and their families. She specializes in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety, obsessive compulsive, and related disorders. Dr. Martin Burch is also passionate about disseminating the effective techniques she uses in therapy with the lay community through workshops and consultation with schools, pediatric practices, parent groups, and camps. She is a frequent contributor to outlets such as Harvard Health and the American Psychological Association.Be curious. Be Open.

Join us for a chat with Canadian emo-revival band Arms Length immediately following their set at the When We Were Young festival. We dive into what makes the band so inherently "emo," which they attribute to their "northern sadness" and the isolation of their Canadian upbringing. Despite living comfortable lives, their music channels the feelings of mental illness and translates it into a sound reminiscent of early 2000s bands. The band discusses the process of writing their latest, highly anticipated album, described by the hosts as "the most devastating album I've ever listened to". They reveal that the writing process was surprisingly therapeutic and fun , taking a few years to process life events and allowing the lyrics to be fully realized. We also get a look at their nerves and excitement for playing a major nostalgia festival like WWWY and their upcoming tour with Hot Mulligan and Drug Church, which they are taking extremely seriously. Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction and catching up with Arms Length at When We Were Young Fest [00:23] The most emo song they are listening to right now (Ethel Cain, The Used, Mount Eerie) [01:46] What makes Arms Length so emo: "Northern Sadness" and isolation [02:56] The therapeutic process of writing their "devastating" album [04:32] Preparing for the massive tour with Hot Mulligan and Drug Church [06:40] Performing for the first time at When We Were Young and the nervousnessSpotify: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/armslengthblues/?hl=enOfficial Website: https://armslengthmusic.com/Tour Dates: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/5931394-arm's-length?affil_code=js_armslengthmusic.com&app_id=js_armslengthmusic.com&came_from=242&utm_campaign=artist&utm_medium=web&utm_source=widgetJOIN THE CLUB!

Anxiety is rewriting the story of a generation — but it doesn't have to win. In this second half of their conversation, Jake McCandless and licensed therapist Temple Carson go deeper into what parents can actually do to help their kids face anxiety with faith and strength. Temple brings years of clinical experience and ministry insight to talk about what happens after the diagnosis, after the overwhelm — the daily rhythms that shape resilience. This episode is packed with practical tools, spiritual grounding, and real talk for parents who want to lead their kids through anxiety instead of around it.

Emotions like fear and anxiety aren't inherently bad — they're warning lights that point to something else. But when those little alarms start going off in your head all the time, that's when they move from being a tool to an issue. This week, Tyler Moffett teaches from Psalm 46 to remind us that God is our refuge and strength so we don't always have to be on the defense.

Jillian breaks down one of the most talked-about topics in modern psychology: attachment styles. But instead of sticking to labels, she challenges the oversimplified ways we use them—and offers a more grounded, compassionate way to understand why we love, cling, or pull away. Jillian shares personal insights into how she healed her own attachment wounds and explains the deeper influences of culture, family conditioning, trauma, and life context on our relationships. This is your guide to moving beyond “anxious” or “avoidant” and toward true emotional security and connection.

Tomahawk Missile Threat Puts Pressure on Putin's Air Defenses. Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang discuss how Russia is highly anxious about the possible deployment of US Tomahawk land-attack missiles to Ukraine. Tomahawks, with a 1,600-mile range, can fly low and strike over 60 Russian air bases and critical energy targets. Experts say the weapon presents an "almost unsolvable air defense problem" for Russia because Putin lacks sufficient air defense systems, like the S-400, to protect such a wide area. 1963
