Episode Details

In this episode of Mind the Gap, we dive into the unexpected sources of anxiety that creep up in the most unlikely places. Using the story of feeling anxious on an aeroplane—where the anxiety wasn’t about flying at all—we explore the more profound, often hidden, triggers that fuel our stress in everyday life. Whether it’s the constant hum of background worry, social pressure, or the noise of negative thoughts, sometimes the natural turbulence is happening inside our minds. Tune in as we unpack how to recognise and address these underlying anxieties, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Stoicism, and Viktor Frankl's insights. Learn practical ways to manage those overwhelming feelings, even when they hit you out of nowhere.
