So Grateful
I cannot thank you enough for this podcast and how much it’s truly helping me. I’ve been listening to as many episodes as possible since I found it last week. I’m just beginning a new counseling journey where I now feel so much hope to be vulnerable and heal from shame due to lifelong anxiety and OCD. I feel a sense of relief and grace, encouraged, and so hopeful. I truly cannot tell you enough what listening to these episodes has done for me already, I will forever be grateful.
Best podcast for anxiety
