Dealing effectively with anxiety and the discomfort that comes with it is a fundamental skill. It allows you to do what you care about and excel in life, especially when facing unfamiliar situations or unpleasant moments.

In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Joel Minden. ​​He is the director of the Chico Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (A-CBT), and the author of the anxiety management self-help book, “Show Your Anxiety Who’s Boss.”

In this interview, Joel and I discussed:

• Three particular skills to manage anxiety

(based on the book “Show Your Anxiety Who’s Boss”)

• How to practice acceptance when dealing with anxious thoughts

• How to deal with uncertainty

• How to practice exposure exercises

• Misconceptions about behaviorism

And you will also listen to an acronym that Joel uses in his work and how I get playful when he shares it. Stay tuned!!!
