The Anxiety Episode Everyone Needs Right Now

Everybody gets stressed, everybody worries about things; but when you can’t function because of it, that’s when it’s a mental illness.
— Kati Morton, LMFT
 

In this episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Kati Morton to talk about the modern anxiety epidemic — the kind that shows up as constant overthinking, people pleasing, racing thoughts, social anxiety, panic attacks, avoidance, doomscrolling, and feeling mentally “on” 24/7.
