Between current events, politics, and everyday fears about the future, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and distracted from the things you actually can control.

You may not have heard it before, but this kind of worry has a name: anticipatory anxiety, and it can drain your energy and make it harder to follow through on life and health goals.

In this episode, we’re diving into what anticipatory anxiety is, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it feels so overwhelming for so many women right now.

Licensed psychotherapist and author Laurie Singer joins me to share practical tools you can use to interrupt the cycle of “what ifs,” shift your focus back to what you can control, and create a simple plan of action for managing anxious thoughts.

Laurie Singer is a licensed Psychotherapist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst who heads the long-established Laurie Singer Behavioral Services in Camarillo, CA.

Over the last 20 years, she and her team have used an integrated Behavioral and Cognitive therapy strategy to help those facing a wide variety of mental health issues.

Laurie’s first book, You’re Not Crazy: Living with Anxiety, Obsessions and Fetishes, brings readers in to the therapy room via case studies to help them serve as their own “therapist.”

Her next book, due out in the Fall, chronicles the physical and emotional hurdles and successes of this 65-year-old grandmother and decorated endurance athlete.
