If someone in your family is struggling with their mental health, does it impact the whole room? Well, today Liana is joined by Larry Epstein, LMHC, to answer a listener's question about the difficulty of emotionally detaching from a family member's anxiety. They break down what detachment means, how to incorporate it, and how to manage your own personal anxiety. Liana and Larry dive deeper into the topic of anxiety and how it differs from stress, when stress can actually be useful, and how to navigate these intrusive thoughts we all know and hate. Larry shares his take on using pop culture in therapy sessions, as well as his experience in working with veterans, trauma survivors, and anxious individuals. You'll need this one before the next time you visit your family!
