Lisa Valtierra Wants You to Lead a Fulfilling Life

Lisa has joined us today to talk about Audaz, a new self-help VR software that employs the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to teach users about anxiety and help them learn methods to overcome their own anxiety. She gives us a simple breakdown of how this works, how Audaz takes a user through an anxiety-inducing situation step by step, and rewards them for each small successful action. Lisa also gives us her view on how you can improve your relationship with technology, using methods such as disconnecting from social media where you can, limiting notifications on your devices, and identifying what apps and activities are useful and add to your life and those that are more distracting, time-wasting activities.   We talk more broadly about anxiety as a growing issue, and how social media use leads to anxiety and other mental health issues, especially in younger children and teens, by giving them certain expectations on how they should be feeling and living. We also look at how you can be unaware of your own anxiety, assuming that your normal response to a situation is just how most people would respond, and how Audaz can give you some information and education in order to better understand the nature of anxiety.     In this episode you will hear:  What is Audaz How CBT can help you manage anxiety Understanding anxiety as a normal part of life Major causes of mental health issues today How Audaz can give you a better understanding of yourself     Lisa Valtierra, CEO, is a leading cross-cultural marketing and advocacy expert in the pharmaceutical and healthcare fields.
