Dr. Naomi then offers an intention for a woman whose anxiety shows up as catastrophic thoughts about strangers who don’t even know she exists. Another voicemail comes from a daughter still simmering after her father somehow forgot to mention her (and her brother) in his retirement speech, but made sure to shout out her deeply disliked stepmother.
