Podcast that’s worth listening
I am just dealing with anxiety for the past couple of months. It’s bad, every time I have anxiety I feel that it is the end of the world, I haven’t done therapy yet and thankfully I stumbled with this podcast! There’s one recent podcast that truly helped me, episode 294: when panic attack comes out of the blue. I just had panic attack on my dream and didn’t get any sleep and I was very frustrated the next day and then I listened to this particular episode and it changed me! I was able to control my anxiety. What I love about this podcast is Drew explained how/ why you feel this things and it’s okay not to be okay. This podcast deserves more than 5 stars! I’m so glad I found this podcast and I listen to this every morning before I go to work.
Really Great Podcast for Dealing with Anxiety Disorders
I’ve been struggling with anxiety issues and agoraphobia for years. I wish this podcast had been around when I was younger. Drew is very straightforward about what you need to do to work through the anxiety. No sugar coating. Highly recommend!
WOW
Drew thank you for all you do! I’ve listened to your podcast for many years and read your book. You have helped me deal with my anxiety in a way I never knew was possible. Thank you!!!
