Think about your day. How often do you pause to check in with yourself? Most of us don’t make a habit of pausing to consider our physical or emotional needs at any given moment—and yet that pause can be a powerful tool for helping us manage our anxiety. In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LGPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., explores the benefits of pausing to connect with yourself in order to get in touch with your needs. She talks about how you can incorporate the pause in your own life and shares her personal experience with using the STOP technique successfully when she was experiencing social anxiety—and how you can use it to feel more grounded and present and show up more authentically for your life.
