3 Top Mental Health Experts On The Root Cause of Anxiety & How To Actually Manage It

from Teach Me How To Adult · host Gillian Berner, Sunniva Itland, Simone Saunders, Dr. Lauren Cook

May is mental health awareness month, so we’re rounding up some of the most game-changing advice and insights we've heard on the podcast about managing anxiety and improving your emotional wellbeing, from three leading experts. We cover the root cause of anxiety and the beliefs that fuel it, managing our distress with the “anxiety hierarchy”, and the ways trauma is stored in the body — along with how to move it.  These perspective-changing concepts have really helped me better understand my mind and improve my mindset. Tune in to hear advice from: Clinical Psychologist Sunniva Itland, founder of one of Norway's largest private psychology clinics and co-founder of metacognitivetherapy.com: On the root of our anxiety, and the transformative anti-therapy therapy that's changing lives. Dr. Lauren Cook, therapist, consultant, speaker, author and founder of Heartship Psychological Services:  On the framework that helps you measure your level of anxiety when faced with challenges, so you can live your life without letting anxiety, avoidance, and control stay in the driver's seat. Trauma Therapist Simone Saunders, somatic psychotherapist and founder of The Cognitive Corner: On signs that you’re chronically dysregulated, nervous system regulation tools that help or hinder, and how trauma manifests physically. If you’re struggling with your mental health, you’re not alone.
