Chris discusses the reality that people fall back on the habits that they know when the anxiety-related "shit hits the fan." They're going to use the so-called "coping behaviors" with which they're familiar to try and feel better, even though it is often these very responses that keep their thoughts and anxiety strong and coming back again and again. The great trouble is that they can't stop these responses because they don't see them. Feel free to reach out with any question you might to [email protected].
