In this episode of the Anxiety Chicks podcast, Alison and Taylor welcome Colleen Freeland, an intuitive drinking coach, to discuss coping with anxiety and depression, particularly through the lens of alcohol use. Colleen shares her personal journey with alcohol, the unhealthy coping mechanisms she adopted, and how she transformed her relationship with drinking. The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of alcohol use, the shame spiral associated with it, and the importance of self-awareness and cognitive behavioral therapy in recovery. Colleen offers practical tools for listeners to feel safe in their bodies without resorting to alcohol, emphasizing the concept of 'less is more' in both drinking and self-care. The episode concludes with a healing tip for those feeling stuck in their anxious cycles.
