How To See Your Anxiety As An Asset
Anxiety doesn’t have to be the enemy. In this episode of Woman Worriers, Creator and host Elizabeth Cush and her guest, Allison Puryear, LCSWC, CEDS, share unique perspectives on anxiety, therapy, work and life.
“It’s amazing when we take the judgment away from it, how much less powerful anxiety is.”
Show Notes:
If you’re like most women with anxiety, you probably spend a lot of time and energy trying to avoid it. This episode of the Woman Worriers podcast talks about a different way of thinking about — and reacting to — anxiety. Creator and host Elizabeth Cush, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., interviews Allison Puryear, a counselor who specializes in treating women with eating disorders, sexual trauma and anxiety, and also coaches therapists who are going into private practice. She shares her own journey with anxiety and how it has helped her grow and become a better business coach, therapist, mom and partner.
