Episode 12 notes Hello! It was so insightful to chat with Dr. Jill Bailey about her new adventure as a psychotherapist. She transitioned from being a Family Medicine physician into a psychotherapist after getting some additional training in 2021.

(19:36) Awareness of how worry is not helpful Sensation of anxiety (22:33) – notice it, be aware of it, and how it may be rising (pot of boiling water – it starts with cold water first) Neat tool of “pocket relaxation” (23:44) and why it works (24:32), the science-y explanation for it!  Dr. Jill Bailey can be found at www.telecbt.ca for psychotherapy session intake forms.
