41. Here's Why It May Be Difficult To Let Anxiety Go

EASE Anxiety: The Podcast

What if I told you that your anxiety might actually be giving you something? I know, it sounds strange, but in this week’s episode of the Ease Anxiety Podcast, we’re diving into the concept of secondary gains—the hidden benefits that anxiety might be offering, even when we’re consciously trying to be rid of it.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🌱 What are secondary gains?: Why anxiety sticks around, even when you’ve done the work to heal.

💡 How anxiety can act as a coping mechanism: You might be holding on to anxiety without even realizing it because of what it’s giving you.

👀 How to identify your own secondary gains: Once you see what anxiety is doing for you, you can learn to meet those needs without it.

🔓 Steps to finally let it go: Finding healthier ways to address what your anxiety has been covering up.

This episode is an eye-opener. You might find yourself having some “aha” moments about why that last bit of anxiety just won’t budge—and how to finally break free from it.
