15. How to Make Anxiety Smaller

In Episode 15, we look at how to make anxiety smaller by not making it the most important thing in the room. Anxiety grows when it becomes the centre of our attention and starts to dictate our behaviour. In this episode, I explain how shifting focus, continuing with what matters, and reducing the status we give anxiety can gradually shrink its influence.I share this both as a therapist and as someone who has personally struggled with anxiety, offering insight grounded in clinical experience and lived understanding.Keywords:anxiety disorder, how to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, threat response, overthinking, health anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD recovery, Pure O, anxiety therapist, anxiety help, anxiety podcast, do what non anxious you would do, making anxiety smaller, fear of fear
