Summary: In this episode I talk about setbacks. Why we get them, how you can respond to them and why you should expect them as part of the process.  We often feel like having a setback puts us back to square one, but it doesn't.  We don't lose our knowledge or positive changes we've made in our lives.  We just need to proceed gently and continue doing what we know works.

Summary: In this episode I talk about the fact that tomorrow I'm going to have my wisdom teeth removed.  I am a bit anxious about getting this procedure done but realize that it's worth going through some short term pain, for long term gain.  I also get into how the thought of being sedated bothers me a bit, which I think is linked to the feeling of not being in control.  Lastly I'm excited about the fact that I'll have to sit still and recover.  I don't slow down too much, so I've planned a gentle day or two of TV and reading.

Summary: In this episode I talk about how we all need to stop trying so hard.  We often are very hard on ourselves and that amount of pressure often just makes the anxiety worse.  I discuss how you can begin to feel better and what steps you can take to be gentler on yourself.  I also discuss how this can affect people trying to get into relationships, and those in relationships trying to maintain them.
