Our Relationship with Trust, Anxiety, & Finally Finding Peace with Mental Health Expert, Dr. John Delony

Accidentally Intentional

Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me!

The opposite of anxiety is peace, and in today's episode with Dr. John Delony, we are talking through exactly how to build a non-anxious life and ultimately find peace, in ALL of your relationships. We're discussing the complexities of vulnerability in relationships, plus the difference between trust-building and oversharing. We're then exploring the consequences of the 'I don't want to bother people' mentality, the overuse of the term "toxic," and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. Then, we are discussing how and where to find peace-filled safe connections, and Zoe gets called out on her anxiety, and what can be done to turn the anxiety alarms down in our life.
