In This Interview, Kelly Wilson and I Discuss Being Liberated from Anxiety and…
His book, Things Might Go Terribly, Horribly Wrong: A Guide to Life Liberated from Anxiety.
Anxiety is not as a disease or that we’re broken
His past view of vulnerability as being the enemy
His theory that 1 out of 2 people has experienced some form of suffering or hardship in their life
How labels can obscure a person
Before talking about acceptance, it’s important to understand what matters.
His approach to this therapy is about the direction towards what you love rather than just eliminating symptoms.
Your suffering may be due to how it’s being carried, not that it’s being carried.
Facing our difficulties is how we come to understand what courage and sacrifice look like
Values and vulnerability as a starting place in therapy
Identifying what would make the hardest thing worthwhile
When we don’t know our values, identify where it hurts
If the burden could be lifted, what would you allow?
Reclaiming what we value by taking redemptive action
The next right thing is acknowledging where you’ve been wrong
Committed action is just the next action that brings you back to who you want to be
It’s all about moving in the right direction, not the distance
