An Interview with Laura Bratton - Grit and Gratitude the Ultimate Pairing

Laura’s therapist told her to turn TOWARD the anxiety. 😳And Laura's first thought? She said, "I looked at her like she had 12 heads."Same, Laura. I’ve had similar moments when I did the exact same.But here's what happened when she actually tried it. She sat down, set a 5-minute timer, and just... let the anxiety come. The tight stomach. The tension. All of it set in. And instead of the anxiety growing? It left. Because anxiety that gets acknowledged doesn't have to fight for your attentionanymore. It releases. It breathes. And then it goes. Laura said it in a way I will never forget: "I could let it breathe and let it literally leave my body." We spend so much energy running from how we feel. What if the healing was in the five minutes we stopped running? 💛On tonight’s episode of “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, you will get to watch the conversation I had with the exceptional Laura Bratton. Please join us at 7 pm.After watching try it this week. Set a timer. Turn toward it. Just five minutes. Then come back and tell me what happened. 👇7-Day Stress Reset Guide https://youtu.be/VDEsFYePfJg Laura’s Book https://www.laurabratton.com/book📌 RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:🎙️ Subscribe to StressTalk with Marcyline: https://www.youtube.com/@mlbaileyconsultants📲 Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mlbaileyconsultantsMarcyline Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in theState of Georgia, a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP®.)
