Worry vs Anxiety: How to Stop Spinning and Start Solving

In this insightful episode, Dr. Kimber invites you to take a closer look at worry—not as a feeling, but as a behavior that keeps us stuck in loops of anxiety. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Kimber breaks down how worry can masquerade as problem-solving, while in reality, it drains our emotional capacity and keeps us from real action.Drawing from the latest research in anxiety and her own clinical experience, Dr. Kimber offers practical tools for recognizing worry in both mind and body, from muscle tension and impatient moods to repetitive thought patterns. With gentle guidance, she walks you through grounding techniques—like noticing your breath, relaxing your jaw, and reconnecting with your senses—to help interrupt the cycle of worry and foster a sense of safety.Whether you find yourself constantly replaying conversations or struggle to comfort yourself in stressful times, you’ll discover antidotes to worry such as “thought-stopping,” scheduled worry time, and facing your fears head-on. Along the way, Dr. Kimber reminds you that safety and worry cannot coexist—and that with mindful awareness, you can reclaim a sense of presence and ease.Tune in for a restorative pause and actionable insights to help you move from anxious rumination to empowered calm.Check out past episodes and more information here: https://www.drkimber.net/podcast-infoPlease remember that this podcast is not a replacement for treatment by a healthcare or mental health professional.  This content is created for education and entertainment purposes only.
