Episode Description

Anxiety therapist Anna Ferguson explains science-backed techniques to manage overwhelming feelings during distressing global events. Methods include physical movement like shaking hands or brisk walking to channel anxious energy, limiting news consumption to avoid doom scrolling, and using the physiological sigh breathing technique—two inhales through the nose followed by one long exhale—to quickly downregulate the nervous system. Ferguson's book '21 Days to a Less Anxious You' offers an individualised approach with daily techniques people can explore and integrate into their lives.
