[Being There for Others]: What NOT to Say to an Anxious Person. EP: 639

There are so many people who run anxious, and you likely have many of them in your life. Maybe they are a family member or a dear friend. A lot of the things that we say to people when they’re in the throes of anxiety may be well-intentioned, but ultimately not that helpful. Today, I'm talking with Dr. Susan Bernstein who'll help us take a look at those common, unhelpful things, and figure out what to say instead.
Susan has an MBA and also has a Ph.D. in somatic psychology, so her expertise really covers the gamut of the mind, the body, and the heart. She’s also just a lovely person whom I’ve been connected to for coming up on two decades–all because she responded to one of my email newsletters. You are going to love her.
