Calmly Coping is an actionable self-improvement podcast for overthinkers with high-functioning anxiety. I'm your host, Tati Garcia, and I'm a licensed counselor specializing in anxiety treatment & a coach specializing in high-functioning anxiety.

Do you appear calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside you are struggling, doubting, and overthinking?

Calmly Coping is not about fixing you, it's about uncovering the amazing person that is already there (and that you are just too afraid to let out).

If you are struggling with feeling stuck in life, overthinking and over-analyzing things, putting way too much pressure on yourself, difficulty relaxing, trouble staying focused, and struggling with self-doubt, then this podcast is for you.

I release new bite-size and evidence-based episodes once weekly with my top tips and techniques for coping with and decreasing anxiety while helping you feel more confident, have improved relationships and communication skills, and have better focus and performance.

    Stop Being So Hard On Yourself

    Stop Being So Hard On Yourself

    STOP being so hard on yourself. I know that you think that being hard on yourself is helping you to get things done and is what you need to do in order to accomplish things. However, it's oftentimes the opposite of that. And even if you recognize that being hard on yourself isn't helping you, it can really be hard to get out of that pattern. In this episode, I share more about the reasons underlying being hard on yourself along with what you can do about it.
     
    So today I'm going to talk about what happens, why you've become so hard on yourself and what you can do about it.
     
    In this episode, you will learn:
    Why you’re so hard on yourself The negative consequences of being hard on yourself (and what to do about it) How you can transform your relationship with yourself to be kinder, more compassionate, and supportive— without dropping the ball

Jozie Girl ,

That’s Me!

I have been struggling with anxiety for many years and with meds from my psychiatrist and therapy trying to figure out the root of this anxiety. Your description of HFA hit me like a ton of bricks and I am so looking forward to learning strategies to help me deal with anxiety and to control it. I have learned that my anxiety has lead to many of my successes in life - professionally and as a wife, mother, friend. But I have been paying the price for my overachieving with anxiety. I recently retired and it has all come to a head and each day I wake up with anxiety due to the lack of structure and not feeling productive/fulfilled/worthy.
