Healing from anxiety doesn’t move in a straight line. Often, anxiety symptoms spike even when you stop fighting them. That doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means your nervous system is finally releasing what it’s been holding back.

That phase can feel really unsettling. (Trust me – been there.) Stronger emotions and a sense of disorientation can show up right when real change is happening.

In this episode, I explain why discomfort can be a sign of progress and how to tell the difference between regression and recovery.

You’ll hear:

• why anxiety gets worse during real recovery
• what the signs of anxiety recovery actually look like
• how living again recalibrates the nervous system

Tune in to get a clear picture of why healing from anxiety still feels hard and what’s actually changing beneath the surface.
