Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I welcome Patricia to discuss the complex subject of anxiety and the role of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in managing it. Key Topics:1. Introduction to Anxiety:   - We look at what anxiety is, a fear-based emotion that can dominate life if not managed properly.   - How fear and anxiety, while often seen as negative, can be valuable when understood and managed correctly.2. Using ACT skills to manage anxiety effectively:  - We look at the concept of 'becoming' through values-based actions.  - The importance of taking intentional steps towards who you want to be, despite internal fears, helping individuals become who they want to be. - The importance of responding to both external and internal stimuli in a way that aligns with personal values.3. Patricia shares her personal experiences with anxiety, including giving a TEDx talk, which was a significant anxiety-provoking event for her.4. We talk about lots of practical advice and suggestions for people experiencing anxiety based distress.5.
