Show Notes:
Anxiety is at an all-time high, but what if a lot of what you’re feeling is actually a false alarm instead of a life sentence? In this greatest-hits conversation, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with his longtime friend and counselor, Dr. Don Worcester, to unpack why anxiety is so rampant, how our imaginations fuel it, and what it really takes to step off the loop and onto a bigger track.
Together, they dig into the difference between feeling and function, why pain is often the last thing to show and the first thing to go, and why waiting for symptoms before you act is like waiting for a root canal before you see the dentist. Dr. Don explains anxiety as something we experience in the absence of love, using powerful illustrations: darkness as the absence of light, cold as the absence of heat, and anxiety as the “virtual reality headset” your brain forgets it’s wearing.
