Butterflies in the stomach, sweat on the palms, and terror on the mind!! I launch the podcast and am instantly flooded with a hurricane of anxiety. I go over the justified causes of my fear and label the interpretations, body sensations, and urges I have as a result. And then I check the hell out of all the facts and walk you through that process. I start off all jittery and nervous, and by the end, I'm actually remarkably calm. Therapizing for the win!
