Anxiety Archetypes & "The Flowchart in Your Mind"

In this "Soapbox Psychology" episode, I discuss anxiety and some of the "archetypes" or patterns to how people experience and use this uncomfortable emotion.

If you are experiencing domestic violence or feel that you're in danger, here are some resources for safety:

• The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224) is open 24/7 and is anonymous. Their website says that the hotline is for anyone involved in or concerned about abusive dynamics in a relationship: "Some people who reach out to us identify as survivors of abuse, some as concerned friends or family members, and some as abusive partners seeking to change themselves."
• The 988 Lifeline is "a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the United States." Simply dial 988 from any phone.

This podcast is not a replacement for actual psychotherapy. It is intended to inspire and entertain. If you need help for depression, anxiety, trauma or anything else, see my article, "How To Choose A Therapist" for guidance. If you are in crisis, the new national, mental health emergency telephone number is 988.
