Understanding your anxiety symptoms isn't enough to make progress in your recovery journey. Many people know exactly what’s happening in their bodies but still feel stuck. Why? Because deep down, they see themselves as “an anxious person.”When you’ve lived with anxiety for a long time, it becomes more than just an experience – it becomes part of who you are. And the brain will fight to keep that identity intact, even when it’s painful. Simply put, anxiety becomes familiar, almost comfortable, in a strange way.That’s why so many people start to heal, only to fall right back into old patterns. Their mind pulls them back to what feels familiar.But this goes beyond anxiety. A lot of people unknowingly hold onto a victim mindset, seeing themselves as powerless in their own recovery. Real progress starts when you stop identifying with your struggles as if you’re permanently broken and instead start seeing yourself as someone who can take responsibility and heal.That small change makes all the difference.In this episode I'm talking about why identity plays such a huge role in healing and how to shift yours so you’re not the one holding yourself back.Tune in!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)The most important factor: your identity (01:23)The ego protects identity, leading to self-sabotage (04:55)Healing requires taking full responsibility (07:09)People fear the unknown more than they fear anxiety (09:01)Mindset shifts have a bigger impact than most realize (10:26)Additional Resources:➡️ To accelerate your recovery journey, book a call to see if the mentorship with Shaan's team will help your specific situation ➡️ Get access to the Desensitization Blueprint ➡️ FREE E-BOOK ---Follow me on social media: 🔹 Instagram 🔹 Facebook 🔹 LinkedIn
