  • Thankful I found this podcast!

    I’ve been struggling with new anxiety and depression lately since reaching the perimenopausal phase of my life. It’s all new to me and I have felt like I was losing my mind. The anxiety has been overwhelming and this podcast has been so helpful to me. I just learned you have books on Amazon so I’ll definitely be checking those out. Thank you for what you guys do, sincerely.

    I was struggling with many many different forms of anxiety, panic and ocd. Josh and Drew have helped me tremendously. Thank you guys! Start listening. I didn’t know which way was up when I started my journey but little by little I started understand and putting it to practice and I am so much better for it. Hard work, totally worth it.

  • The one that works

    I am very, very grateful to this podcast. Drew and Josh don’t realise it but they are helping this middle-aged guy get his life back (although yes, I AM taking the credit when I remember to do so). I cannot praise (and recommend) this podcast highly enough, along with their other podcasts Panic Pod and The Anxious Truth. The way they explain the subtleties of recovery so carefully means you don’t get left stranded not knowing exactly what they mean and exactly what you are supposed to DO, which ... more

  • Awesome pod!

    So so so helpful for anyone suffering from anxiety, and wanting to educate themselves about what it is, what makes it worse and what makes it better. If I had to stick to only one resource, that would be the one! And they’re fun!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anxiety Questions and Answers (Episode 166)
Q: Hi Josh and Drew. Kara from Germany here. How can I work on real tasks and problems without my OCD making me feel like I have to fix them 24 seven, effectively turning relationship issues or daily tasks into endless rumination?
Use ERP with a blend of response prevention and exposure. Do what non-anxious you would do, not what your OCD tells you to do. If needed, introduce imaginal exposures to sit with discomfort around a specific issue, and then choose to act in ways that align with your goals rather than compulsive reassurance seeking.
Anxiety Questions and Answers (Episode 166)
Q: Hi, Drew and Josh, or Josh and Drew. Very diplomatic. This is JT. I'm a GAD sufferer and I found that a lot of my rumination involves the older home that I live in. So I guess my question is, since that is a source of anxiety and worry for me, and I live there, sleep there every night, is there a reason why that constant exposure hasn't improved the anxiety and rumination and so forth?
Urgency and the obsessional focus around the problem are clues. The exposure should involve boundaries around time spent on the worry, and you should distinguish between doing a pragmatic repair versus constant problem solving driven by urgency. In GAD, the strategy is often to let yourself worry while continuing daily activities, and to practice not allowing that worry to hijack every moment. Over time, you can learn to tolerate the uncertainty without spiraling into compulsive checking.
The Stress Jug Explained (Episode 146)
Q: So how do I believe them and that something isn't just going to creep up on me?
Don't wait to believe it; act as if you're already behaving as if it's safe, which gradually reduces fear and reshapes the fear blueprint over time.
How Do We Overcome Worry and Rumination? (Episode 142)
Q: What do I do about my constant states of worry and rumination?
Focus on awareness training and set strong boundaries on what thoughts you will allow yourself to have.
The Golden Rules of Anxiety Recovery and Desensitization (Episode 143)
Q: Why can't I seem to do the same thing with this one other specific trigger I've been struggling with for years?
This reflects a need to recognize that the 'no-fly zone' exists because of the priority given to specific anxious feelings over actions.
