Take What Serves. Leave the Rest.
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Wanting reassurance is a natural part of being a human being.
In this episode Bryan talks to Dr. Anastasia Ristau about our relationship with it.
They talk about how sometimes reassurance can be used to avoid what we're feeling in the moment, ways it can fuel anxiety, when reassurance can be especially healing, and much more.
Dr. Ristau is a licensed psychologist, and the Director of Psychotherapeutics at PrairieCare.
This conversations was inspired by the article "How To Stop Reassurance Seeking" by Nick Wignall.
As always, take what serves you - and leave the rest.
