Is Anxiety The Language Of The Soul And If So How Can It Help You?
Manage episode 506398246 series 2793286
Have you ever considered that your anxiety isn't trying to hurt you, but actually trying to save you? This perspective-shifting conversation with author and pastor Cody Deese challenges everything we've been taught about anxiety and offers a revolutionary approach to healing.
Cody shares his remarkable 40-year journey with debilitating anxiety that began in childhood. From unexplained retching episodes at football games to panic attacks during everyday conversations, his condition remained misdiagnosed until age 40 when a therapist finally identified it as a panic disorder. This revelation marked the beginning of his healing journey and led to the insights he shares in his new book, "Discover Your Internal Universe."
The core message is both counterintuitive and liberating: anxiety is not our enemy. Rather than battling against anxiety or trying to eliminate it, Cody advocates for integration. "Anxiety can be a part of you without being all of you," he explains. By learning to observe our anxiety without identifying with it, we create space between who we are and what we're experiencing.
Throughout our conversation, Cody offers practical wisdom for those struggling with anxiety. Cody's contact details
