| #242 My Anxiety Story: How I Found My Way To Recovery | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:21:40 | |
This week, I'm sharing something a little more personal - My own anxiety story. Before I became The Anxiety Dr, I knew what it was like to live with anxiety, to fear what I was feeling, to fear going crazy, and to wonder if I would ever truly feel like myself again. In this episode, I'm taking you through my journey: how my anxiety started, what it looked like at its worst, the things I tried, what finally began to change, and how I found my way to recovery. I'm sharing this because I want you to know that recovery is possible. Your story may look different from mine, and your path may be different too - but where you are today does not have to be where you stay. This is my anxiety story. And more importantly, my recovery story. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Lisa Have questions about availability? Schedule a free 15 min consultation | |||

Meditation isn't just about calming. In this episode, I talk about meditation and why it's important in anxiety recovery. And If you've ever said, "I can't meditate because I can't stop thinking," this episode will help you. Meditation isn't about clearing yoru mind. It's about learning to notice your thoughts without automatically following them and becoming comfortable with your body again. You shouldn't meditate because you're afraid of anxiety or because you need to make an uncomfortable feeling disappear. I don't even recommend my patients meditate when they're anxious. We meditate to learn to be mindful. Meditation: Small practice. Powerful Impact. Join our VIP membership Schedule an appointment with Dr. Lisa | |||

Anxiety isn't just stealing your peace - it's stealing your trust in yourself. Over time, anxiety teaches us to question everything. We stop trusting our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions, and our decisions. We wonder if we'll ever recover, if we're capable of handling discomfort, or if we're somehow different from everyone else. This hinders our recovery. Preventing us from feeling safe. Let's explore this and how to start trusting ourselves again. Join the waitlist for our 90-day anxiety reset.

One of the questions I'm asked most often is, " Dr. Lisa, how do you spend all day listening to people talk about their anxiety without getting triggered yourself?" The trust is that years ago, it probably would have. But Recovery changes more than your symptoms - it changes the way your brain responds to fear. In this episode, I'm sharing why other people's anxiety no longer becomes my anxiety, what healthy emotional boundaries look like, and how learning to trust your brain and body changes everything.
