-  I introduce the podcast by reviewing the last episode and reminding you of how to reach out to me. 01:49 – I talk about the benefits of overthinking while on anxiety – as long as you do so positively. 02:42 – Hannah talks about how it’s helpful for her to bring her overthinking to an overthinker, and how the “Your brain is a dick” concept has helped her challenge her demon.  She also talks about how she has overcome negative overthinking to advance in her career, because her overthinking has so often kept her from action in the past. 6:25 – I read from my post about the importance of limit the full on surrenders to anxiety, and to instead live as normal as possible as often as you can.  This not only keeps your life going, but it helps to defeat the demon in your head. 8:13 – Hannah talks about how she actually goes beyond living as normal with her anxiety, and instead overcommunicates when in an anxious state, but she talks about how this has benefited her greatly.  She has found that others have met here there, and benefited from her overcommunication.  We also talk about how often she crawls into the fetal position when in the throws of anxiety and what that experience is like.   12:25 – I read from my post about the importance of inviting someone else in with your houseguest.  In other words, this is the importance of talking to somebody else about your problems.  I encourage people to be ultimately vulnerable, and use others to get the bird’s eye view. 13:40 – Hannah talks about how she realized that her anxiety has kept her boyfriend from being able to be anxious, and I launch off from this about how the most impactful tactic (weird word to use, but I’m sticking with it) for me is that when my wife is anxious, I always naturally calm down. We talk about the importance of outside factors allowing you to re-center.  We also go more in depth about the importance of talking to someone else about your anxiety. 20:54 – I read from my article about how important it is too hold onto all of the hope that you can.   21:43 – Hannah talks about how we can speak from experience that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we both further discuss the vitality of hope.  We also encourage finding your own tactics, and your own path to brighter days.  We also discuss how helpful exercise is for, in my case, the more every day form of anxiety.  Hannah also talks about the benefits of paying extremely close attention to everything she has experienced.  26:53 – In my final word, I talk about the opportunity that anxiety presents.  I talk about how you can come out of this better than ever, how you can prove so much to yourself, how you can learn to function through turbulence, and how much you can strengthen yourself by living through the hardest times. 29:52 – Wrap up
