Summary

#692: This week on the Anxiety Slayer podcast, we're exploring supportive strategies to help you overcome dissociation associated with anxiety. Anxiety Slayer is sponsored by BetterHelp We all carry things that stress us out and when we keep them bottled up, it can start to affect us negatively. Therapy is a safe space to get things off your chest—and to figure out how to work through whatever’s weighing you down. During the pandemic, I found that working with a therapist was helpful for learning positive coping skills and creating personal goals for self-care. It isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma; etc. If you’re thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It’s entirely online. Designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Visit BetterHelp.com/slayer today to get 10% off your first month.
