In the first episode of the anxiety podcast, host and author Caroline Foran shares a raw, unfiltered and unsexy account of her experience of anxiety, from childhood right through to her mid 20s, when the you know what really hit the fan. Word of warning: this episode is pretty bleak - it's not sugar coated - but there is light at the end of the tunnel. This episode lays the foundation before moving on to understanding what anxiety is, and introducing her Assess and Address technique for owning your anxiety.

In this episode I introduce the Assess and Address technique for anxiety, and am joined by clinical psychologist Dr Clare Kambamettu. She talks SO much sense around anxiety. We unpack it, getting a better understanding of why we feel it and how normal it is and exactly what's happening in our body. This episode will help you to get some clarity on why you might be experiencing anxiety, as well as reassuring you that whatever you're feeling, for whatever reason - it's VALID. We also discuss Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and why that works for anxiety. Enjoy.

Maybe you don't experience anxiety but maybe your partner or close friend or relative does; if so this is the episode for you. Barry is my husband and super reluctant podcast guest on this episode. He HATES having to do this but I damn well made him. We discuss the importance of normalising the anxiety, what to do and what not to do or say to someone who's struggling with anxiety and what it was like for him to go through this with me. He's not as much of a talker as I would be but I think his experience is important in the context of this series. I hope you enjoy it!
