Grief & Anxiety, with Josh Fletcher (@anxietyjosh) Not So Linear
-
- Salute mentale
In this episode I speak with Joshua Fletcher (@anxietyjosh on IG), who is a psychotherapist specialising in anxiety disorders. I wanted to understand why grief can often be a catalyst for anxiety and how we can learn to retrain our brain to manage it more effectively.
Josh opens up about the experience of losing his brother to cancer as a teenager and how the unprocessed grief led him to a mental breakdown. However, he now commits his career to providing psychoeducation and spreading awareness about the topic. He is a best-selling author of two anxiety self-help books, as well as hosting The Panic Pod podcast.
We also discuss:
Ruminating thoughtsWhy we shouldn't search for 'coping mechanisms' as we CAN copeHow we need to retrain our brain to break our anxious habitsAlcohol & anxietyMaking peace with your anxiety and letting it be with you, rather than fighting itComplicated griefGambling and addictionWhen to seek help
We hope that this episode helps you to feel less alone in your journey.
