If anxiety shows up and your first thought is “I need this to stop”, you’re not alone. But that fight and urgency can be the exact thing that keeps anxiety loud and persistent.

In this short episode, I explain why trying to get rid of anxiety often backfires, how your brain learns from your reactions, and what to do instead so you stop adding fuel to the fire. You’ll learn a simple practical approach you can use in real time, plus one quick breathing tool to take the edge off adrenaline without turning it into a ritual.
