In this episode of Sero Boost, Sarah sits down with psychotherapist and trauma specialist Sean Chew to unpack the topic of anxiety—how it shows up, how it differs from stress, and the impact it can have on daily life and wellbeing.

Sean Chew shares why anxiety is the body’s natural alert system, but can become disruptive if it lingers too long. He also introduces practical strategies to help manage it, including the 54321 grounding method, a simple tool to calm morning and bedtime anxiety.

Together, Sarah and Sean Chew discuss how mindfulness techniques, though often challenging, can be practiced consistently to become powerful habits for easing anxiety and reconnecting with joy and meaning.

With years of clinical and counselling experience, Sean Chew also emphasizes the importance of knowing when to seek professional support—reminding listeners that help is available and recovery is possible.
