In this episode, we delve into the concept of the "Terror Barrier," a term used to describe the intense fear and anxiety we feel when pushing past our comfort zones. We explore what mental barriers are, why they occur, and how to overcome them. This episode is packed with practical tips and techniques to help you break through your mental blocks and achieve your goals.

Hosts: Rielly Karsh and Tovah Kopan of Go Boldly Initiative

We'll cover various approaches to deal with worry spirals when they are unavoidable. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical tips and a clearer understanding of how to prevent anxiety spirals and what to do when you can’t prevent them.
