Choice, Power, and Courage In Recovery (Recovery Monday #57)

Believe it or not, there is choice in the recovery process. In the scariest moments, we DO have the power to make different choices. This is great news because choice means power and agency. The bad news is that in the hardest moments, choice is tied directly to courage.

Tardy to the party here, but I liked this podcast. I'm about 6 months into my anxiety recovery journey. This channel and The Sleep Coach School have been invaluable resources to help me cope with my anxiety and insomnia. Thank you for what you do.

And therapy right now I am using EMDR to process trauma and it is working beautifully. We are not using EMDR to work through the health Anxiety we use the gold standard, which is ERP exposure and response prevention, so are using the MDR to help with the trauma that I sustained over the last two years, and then the ERP to help with the compulsions, and Safety behavior so it’s kind of a combo and it’s working beautifully my trauma score went from a 51 to a 19 and my health anxiety went down two or three points I’m not as anxious I know now that I have to sit in the fear and also she said you got to lean into it so we’re doing a lot of amazing things with us, so yeah, I don’t agree how you can use EMDR for health anxiety Thanks, Teresa.
