Understanding Anxiety - with Psychologist Eleni Tsoukalas

Have you ever suffered with anxiety? Have you ever experienced those physical feelings you can't control in your chest? Sweaty palms? Heavy breathing? You are not alone!

For some people even leaving the house can bring it on. But IT IS OK!

In this episode, host Tyler Antcliff and psychologist Eleni delve into the complexities of anxiety, particularly among teens.

There is strength in speaking out, it is NOT a weakness! They explore the VERY REAL physiological and psychological aspects of anxiety, its triggers in modern life, and the importance of self-discovery and vulnerability in managing mental health.

Eleni shares with us the significance of having a 'toolbox' of strategies to cope with anxiety and encourages listeners to seek help and support when needed.
