24: What to do when anxiety strikes (or any big emotion)
Manage episode 515995253 series 3668954
If you hate feeling anxious or other big emotions and have tried to find a way to handle them, but nothing really works, this episode is for you.
Today I’m walking you through a simple, three-step process for bringing self-compassion into any big emotion. Whether it’s anxiety, shame, guilt, sadness, embarrassment, or grief — these three steps work in real time, wherever you are.
You’ll learn:
- Why emotions like anxiety are not a personal flaw, but your body’s way of keeping you safe
- The fastest way to calm your nervous system (hint: it starts with your hands, not your thoughts)
- The short kindness script that replaces self-criticism with care in under a minute
- A client story that shows how quickly this can shift how you feel
You’ll finish the episode knowing exactly what to do the next time emotion takes over: Normalise. Touch. Kindness.
Because you’re not your emotions — you have emotions.
And that means you can work with them, not against them.
