Ep. 2 Navigating Anxious Times, with Theresa Rogers

Clinical social worker (and host Ian Ebright's therapist) Theresa Rogers joins Today Plus Everything to talk about how we can better navigate the anxious times we're living in.  

The two discuss how our formative years, dysfunctional conditions, and trauma get tangled up to form survival patterns that are no longer serving us in adult life—impeding and triggering our nervous system. The conversation explores examples of healthy and toxic leadership in politics, anxiety and depression, and includes insight from Theresa's 30 years of experience—inspired by the work of John Bowlby, Allan Schore, and the Polyvagal theory—as well as tips and a "live" meditation exercise.
