28. Joining the D.O.T.S w/ Dr Jodi Richardson

<p>Anxious thoughts and feelings range from uncomfortable to painful and&nbsp;distressing; and can be very hard to tolerate. It's no wonder we try a variety of different ways to avoid what we think and feel, but at what cost? In this episode I share a variety of unhelpful and ineffective ways I've tried to manage my anxiety over the years, and invite you to use the D.O.T.S exercise to reflect on the different techniques you've used to manage yours. This type of awareness is powerful when it comes to assessing what's working, what's not, and a new way forward.&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="https://www.actmindfully.com.au/upimages/Join_The_Dots_Worksheet_-_May_2017_version_-_Russ_Harris.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join the D.O.T.S worksheet</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>--------------------------</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”</p><br><p>How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
