What 15 Years of Anxiety Taught Me - That Therapy Didn't
Fri Feb 06 2026
For the last 15 years, I’ve been recovering from my own anxiety and helping over 1,000 people around the world heal theirs, including doctors and therapists.
Before I understood what actually works, I did what everyone tells you to do: therapy, books, talking about triggers, childhood, and thought patterns.
And I was still anxious.
What changed everything was treating anxiety like what it actually was for me: a nervous system stuck in protection mode, reacting to normal sensations like they’re threats.
In this episode, I share the seven lessons I learned about healing anxiety that I wish someone had explained to me sooner.
You’ll learn:
02:01 Why anxiety isn’t just a mental issue 08:43 Why recovery can feel worse at first 11:19 Why anxiety recovery can’t be rushed… and several more things most people usually never hear. Tune in.
