55. Three micro-skills in managing anxiety

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!!!
