    Anxiety and Courage in the Face of Death - Anna Ledgard S02 Ep08

    Death comes to all of us. Most of us fear it and our anxiety about death and dying stops us from thinking about it and talking about it.

    Anxiety, PTSD and the Courage to Thrive - Lou Lebentz S02 Ep06

    Trauma can affect us in one sudden awful incident. Or it can build up bit by bit over years of repeated pain and suffering. Trauma can be passed down through the generations.

How do we emerge from the grip of past trauma and discover joy and hope again? Trauma specialist Lou Lebentz talks to Anxiety Advantage host Yang-May Ooi about her work helping those affected by PTSD, addiction, psychosis and eating disorders to heal and thrive.  – Please note I am not an expert on anxiety.
