• Anxiety and Courage in the Face of Death - Anna Ledgard S02 Ep08
    Apr 20 2023

    Death comes to all of us. Most of us fear it and our anxiety about death and dying stops us from thinking about it and talking about it. Would having more courage in the face of this universal human life passage help us die better deaths and live better lives? It seems appropriate in this last episode of our exploration of anxiety and courage to talk openly about the life experience that scares us most.  End of life doula Anna Ledgard joins The Anxiety Advantage host Yang-May Ooi  to talk about Anxiety and Courage in the Face of Death.

  • Anxiety, PTSD and the Courage to Thrive - Lou Lebentz S02 Ep06
    Mar 23 2023


    Trauma can affect us in one sudden awful incident. Or it can build up bit by bit over years of repeated pain and suffering. Trauma can be passed down through the generations. It can affect societies and communities as well as individuals. How can we find ways to heal ourselves, each other and society? How do we emerge from the grip of past trauma and discover joy and hope again? Trauma specialist Lou Lebentz talks to Anxiety Advantage host Yang-May Ooi about her work helping those affected by PTSD, addiction, psychosis and eating disorders to heal and thrive.
