Jay and Carlie open up about the difficulty of trying to keep up with doing the "30 Day Challenge" each month, and share about the new direction of the TOPIC IN FOCUS segments. With the continuing unfolding of all aspects of COVID-19, it seemed only fitting to discuss the topic of anxiety. Using coronavirus to open up a discussion about anxiety in general, Jay and Carlie explore multiple aspects of the nature of anxiety. The two share personal stories about anxiety, and Jay provides some psychoeducation and analogies regarding how anxiety highjacks our brains and prevents a lot of rational thinking. Jay and Carlie also talk about various coping mechanisms for dealing with racing thoughts and anxious physiology.
