Feeling a sense of unease in your own skin and in your own home? You're not alone. Anxiety can slither into marriages, subtly changing the dynamics and behaviors, and often leaving a trail of bewilderment in its wake. We crack open the different faces of anxiety, its triggers, and the often detrimental changes it can bring about, like withdrawal or avoidance. We also spotlight the critical balance between personal and marital responsibilities when navigating mental health issues.
But, remember, there's no need to feel daunted! This episode isn't just about understanding the problem, it's about finding ways together to create a safe haven amidst the storm. We'll hold your hand as we walk through grounding techniques that can anchor you to the present, and emphasize the importance of practicing these in moments of calm. We debunk the damaging myth of "just stop" feeling anxious and explore more compassionate ways to engage with difficult emotions. So, whether you're someone dealing with anxiety or a spouse trying to navigate these rough waters, tune in.
