Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here! On this episode of the AnxietyRX Podcast, we're gonna dive into something a little different: how the things we love can actually trigger anxiety - competing attachments. I'll share some of my own experiences and some real-life examples to show how these attachments can sneak up on us. But the good news is, with a little self-awareness and some work on connecting with ourselves, we can learn to manage those anxious feelings. So, if you're ready, tune in! Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions. PS.
