Q & A About Anxiety with Bob and Brad and Therapy in a Nutshell

Oh my goodness, I got to speak with Bob Schrupp from Bob and Brad (the famous YouTube Physical Therapists), and he asked me a bunch of questions about how to accept and manage anxiety. We talked about willingness, anxiety in the body, acceptance of anxiety, how avoidance makes anxiety worse, and lots more. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with Bob!

Always consult your physician before making any decisions related to your physical or mental health. In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, Positive Psychology, and a Bio-Psycho-Social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction. And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe If you are in crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or your local emergency services.
