97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane

For me personally, and I know everyone's sort of thing is very different.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane

I've always been very laid back, you know, and worry about the regular things.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane

I've had some brilliant help from some great people along the way.

And I tried one of your exercises last night, because I'm not really anxious at the moment, but there are a few things that I've been a bit worried about.

97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane
