Depression is a liar. If you have depression, the chances are, it’s lying to you too.

Today, we’re talking about the Top 5 Relationship Rules I have that have changed my life. This episode was inspired by a letter I wrote to all of you. For those of you who signed up for my newsletter, I give you tools and tips, and stories, and I tell you funny jokes sometimes. But I was writing the newsletter while I was in Australia just before I left when I was there in December, and I was reflecting on how beautiful my relationships are with my family now. And I was reflecting on why. Why are they so beautiful? Well, number one, they’re beautiful people. But number two, more importantly, I have learned these relationship rules, which have allowed me to have the most beautiful relationship with my family and the most beautiful relationship with my husband, my kids, my friends, and you guys.

One of the most common questions I get asked is what do I do during or after an exposure? 

Number One, it’s so scary to do an exposure, and number two, there’s so many things that people have brought up as things to do, even me, this being Your Anxiety Toolkit.

MINDFULLY TENDING TO ANGER & RESENTMENT

In this week’s podcast, I talked with Lynn Lyons about her new book, The Anxiety Audit (7 Sneaky Ways Anxiety Takes Hold and How to Escape Them).

We discuss: 

• How repetitive negative thinking disguises itself as problem-solving 
• How catastrophic thinking makes the world a dangerous place and demands you react accordingly 
• How big conclusions and an all-or-nothing approach make the world smaller and harder to navigate. 
• How a fear of judgment isolates and disconnects us from people 
• How being busy and overscheduled both adds and masquerade anxiety and stress 
• How we blame others when we are irritable
• How self-care becomes not self-care at all
