#3 - Georgia Dow

This week I’m joined by Georgia Dow.

Georgia is probably best known online as a technology podcaster, but her main line of work is actually as a psychotherapist who specializes in treating people who suffer from anxiety and depression. We get particularly deep into the topic of anxiety. She explains what anxiety is, what causes it, and what you can do to treat it when it stops you from being able to live your life. We talk at length about my own recent struggles with anxiety that culminated in really terrifying panic attack that landed me in the hospital. We also touch on the benefits of meditation, the impact COVID has had on her profession and her patients, and much more.

I want to make a note here that even if you don’t suffer from anxiety issues, there is a high probability someone you know might. Hopefully this episode can offer some insight into a disorder that is all too often taboo. I can say from my own experience that it is all too real, and it really is quite fascinating to consider the ways our own minds can seemingly betray us.
