Rebecca Ching: Anxiety in a Culture of "Never Enough"

In this Episode: Today we are covering an important subject - anxiety.  Did you know that according the to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America in the US, 40 million people aged 18 and older - that's about 18 percent of the population - has an anxiety disorder.  So joining me to lovingly and respectfully discuss this tapic  is Rebecca Ching.  Rebecca is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Lots of great resources mentioned at the end of this episode - everything will be listed at thegoodlifecoach.com/023. Rebecca is Certified in  Internal Family Systems Therapist, a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator+Consultant (CDWF-C) (based on the research of Brené Brown), Certified EMDR Therapist+Consultant-in-Training , and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) + iaedp™. She will discuss when anxiety can be beneficial and what it looks like when it accumulates and hits a tipping point so you know when to seek out help.  We also discuss it through the lens of what my Rebecca calls a culture of "never enough" which makes us question: "Am I doing enough?  Have I achieved enough?  Am I pretty enough?  Am I good enough?  The root being feeling of "Am I enough?"   Perfectionism is a way for anxiety to play itself out and creates shame.  Not being worthy and not feeling enough.
