When you struggle with anxiety, certainty usually feels like the only way forward. Every decision and every action feels like it needs to be guaranteed before you take it.
The problem is that the guarantee never comes because there is no such thing as certainty. And chasing it keeps you paralyzed in an endless cycle of seeking reassurance, checking symptoms, overthinking, second-guessing...
So, if you want to truly take a step forward, you don't need to eliminate uncertainty. What you need is to build the courage to move despite it.
Beating fear isn't courage. Courage is recognizing the fear, feeling it, and choosing to take action anyway. In fact, that’s what separates those who stay stuck from those who recover.
In this episode, I'm explaining why certainty is an illusion, what courage really is, and how you can start stepping into the unknown on the path to full recovery.
