EP 158 - Seeing Your Anxiety Problem As "Punishment"

Description
This is a theme that has come up now and then in the community surrounding the podcast.  When I asked my Instagram community how many people felt that anxiety means they are being punished in some way, I was blown away by the magnitude of the response.  Clearly, many people that suffer with anxiety and anxiety disorders see this problem at least to some degree as some form of punishment they are being subjected to.

Spoiler alert: An anxiety disorder is not evidence that you are being punished in any way.
