    What, me, anxious? No way! šŸ¤­
    Yes, for the longest time I was in denial about anxiety. Like so many people on here, I had no idea anxiety could unfold the way it has. I seriously thought something else was wrong with me from COVID, vax, and yes, even possessed (cringe). But after so many appointments to the doctor, neurologist, and specialist, it turns outā€¦ itā€™s anxiety. Iā€™m still in the process of acceptance and thatā€™s the first step. This podcast has helped me so much in my journey and I appreciate Josh and Ella so much. I canā€™t wait to keep learning and recover. Letā€™s do this!

    The best podcast!
    As someone who has a very hard time with anxiety, this podcast has been a life changer for me! Truly a life changer. When i first found Josh, i was in the thick of it honestly. I didn't know what was happening to me. My doctors only knew how to medicate and throw labels at me. Finding Josh was my saving grace! To this day his episodes have a profound impact on me. The latest one involves sleep anxiety! Which is huge for me, and honestly after listening to it about 5 times lol i truly felt so much better. I have tools to help me through this! The best thing i continue to receive from his podcasts are that for one i am not alone and second, i can get through this. Within the first couple of weeks of finding this podcast and Joshā€™s handle on instagram my family noticed a change. My husband even contacted Josh to thank him! So many claim they are the best and i have honestly read all the anxiety books id even like to admit, NOTHING compares to josh and his books! Thank you Josh for lifting such a deep fog that was over me! I will forever be grateful!

    Sleep and anxiety
    This podcast was an amazing convo ! Last 4 months sleeping has been tough ! Last night i slept easy and I actually listened to this podcast before i fell asleep! My best friend told me about Josh and its been a blessing! I use to think something else was wrong with me not knowing anxiety can unfold in sooo many ways. No more googling anxiety šŸ¤£. This podcast also made me be more aware of my body and im currently working on the body scanning šŸ„¹. Thank you Josh šŸ™šŸ½
  • Respect that
    Body awareness and body scan
    This was great reminder to use with clients. I get a lot of great reminders and new ideas to use with clients in the podcast series. Thanks

    Ummmmm. Umhmmmm
    Josh your content is great and I enjoy hearing some of what you have to say. I say ā€œsomeā€ of what you have to say because of all the distracting moaning and groaning Ella does while you are speaking. It totally takes away from your message. Iā€™ve seriously heard less moaning in pornos. itā€™s unfortunate. Guess Iā€™ll just read your books instead.

    Helped me better understand my anxiety
    I started listening to this podcast when I was struggling with some intense anxiety and panic attacks. This podcast truly helped me understand the process that my mind/body was going through and made me feel less scared of my anxiety and less alone in my fears. Itā€™s a great listen and really educational/helpful!

    This podcast made me feel safe and empowered
    This podcast genuinely has gotten me through some of my toughest days with anxiety. The way Josh and Ella speak in a friendly, assured tone is very comforting to listen to and this podcast helps me realize Iā€™m really not alone when Iā€™m struggling with anxiety. Josh and Ella have struggled with anxiety, themselves, so the podcast is extremely relatable and I think thereā€™s at least one episode every anxiety sufferer could relate to.

    Iā€™m doing the hard things
    Josh and Ella have pulled me out of some really dark days. There was an episode early on where Ella was promoting Joshā€™s book and she directed a message of hope to everyone, to not give up searching until we are satisfied and it made me bawl like a little kid in my kitchen. I truly appreciated the encouragement. I was someone who went to the ER multiple times because I thought I was dying, I was also someone who legitimately thought I was losing my mind. I suffered for about a decade until randomly buying ā€˜Untangle Your Anxietyā€™ on Amazon. By this point, I developed multiple phobias and my anxiety presents itself in just about every way itā€™s listed in the book. Iā€™m still trying to claw my way out of all of this but I can feel my amygdala settling down the more I try. I know Josh says that you shouldnā€™t try to ā€˜make senseā€™ of your anxiety and for the most part I donā€™t but I know past trauma has really affected me. Iā€™m being kind to myself and will continue to listen, read the books, do the hard things and hopefully achieve goals. This podcast is wonderful, Josh and Ella are wonderful and I am getting a lot of tools to use. Thank you!

    A no nonsense podcast for your anxiety
    Josh and Ella have candid conversations about different kinds of anxiety. They speak in a language that totally relates to you and your symptoms. I canā€™t suggest this enough! Also be sure to search Josh on Amazon and grab his books! I have all of them and they donā€™t disappoint!!

    Fantastic podcast!!!
    I came across this podcast last year when I was struggling terribly with anxiety. I listened to the first episode and was hooked! Josh has helped me with my anxiety journey more than any therapist I have seen or medication I have tried. I am so thankful and grateful to him for sharing his expertise and personal struggles. This podcast is amazing! I have listened to every episode several times and I still go back to specific ones anytime I need to. Your books are fantastic too!! Thank you Josh, for everything you do! I am forever grateful!!

    this podcast is so helpful and so informative! joshā€™s approach to dealing with anxiety disorders is so refreshing. ella brings such a warm and relatable energy to each episode & all of the guests are fantastic! thank you so much for creating this podcast!
  • Kaylacz
    Amazing podcast!
    Whether you are someone who suffers from anxiety or someone wanting to broaden your knowledge on it, this podcast is a wonderful tool to help you learn everything you need to know about all the ins and outs of anxiety. I have had anxiety pretty much my entire life and The Panic Pod has taught me more about my symptoms than my doctor and therapist have. I am beyond grateful for the hosts and their willingness to spread knowledge on anxiety. Therapy isnā€™t accessible to everyone, so for them to help people out with their mental illness on this platform, in my opinion, is incredible. ā¤ļø
  • Bro_Lans
    Excellent podcast!
    This is an excellent podcast for anyone dealing with or wanting to learn about mental health disorders! The dynamic between Josh and Ella is great because Josh comes from both the experienced and educated background while Ella brings a fresh personal perspective of the topics. And while the podcast is informative, itā€™s not dry and boring, again because of the dynamic and sense of humor of both Josh and Ella. Always looking forward to new episodes!
  • RMH2-
    Truly amazing
    This podcast has helped me tremendously. I had my first panic attack a little over a year ago, it was terrifying and led to a host of perpetuating (chronic) anxiety symptoms. Learning the physiological processes from Ella and Josh that are going through my body has literally changed my life.
  • Alwaysonpinterest
    Fantastic podcast on anxiety disorders
    This podcast is wonderful on so many levels! Josh and Ella are superb in educating about anxiety disorders using their own experiences. Joshā€™s sense of humor provides lightness to what can feel like a very heavy topic.

    A Refreshing Take
    This podcast is a refreshing take on what is actually at play in our bodies during anxiety. Josh and Ella touch on things we are all feeling but havenā€™t put into words and help us with anxiety feel like we have some control over our circumstances. It is wonderful to hear about anxiety from those who truly get what itā€™s like to have it!
  • outdorsgrl
    Game Changer
    This podcast has really helped to understand how anxiety affects me. Josh and Ella dig deep into the ā€˜rootā€™ causes of anxiety, and how to get back on track to living life with little to no anxiety!
  • SquanchAllDay
    Validating and Empowering
    I absolutely love this podcast! Itā€™s so validating and the hosts have so many valuable insights. Iā€™d recommend this to anyone struggling with anxiety at any point in their lives. Youā€™re not alone!
  • McClureCourtney
    Anxiety Josh
    Thank you for creating this podcast! I suffer from GAD and panic disorder and I canā€™t seem to hit a solution. Often I feel helpless and unreal. Severe panic and anxiety is no joke. Thank you for allowing me to feel not alone. If possible, I would love to hear your thoughts on derealization and depersonalization!!
  • Jacob doney
    Great and helpful podcast!
    As a person who is currently dealing with agoraphobia it is easy to feel alone or alienated by this condition. You can hear the passion in the teaching by Josh and itā€™s inspiring learning from someone who has personally experienced panic disorder. This podcast helps break down a lot of the myths the mind makes up and gives you powerful tools to move forward and work on your mental health. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about why they think the way they do in regards to anxiety.
  • AlexaSlay

    Perfect
    This is the most soothing and effective podcast about anxiety that Iā€™ve heard. Everything about it is gentle, which is really important for people whose nerves and senses are fried or sensitive. Even the opening music is very gentle.
  • coll630
    Heart health anxiety here!
    Just found you and intrigued with your podcast. I am 24/7 scanning my body for physical symptoms and then I think what can it be. Iā€™m all about thinking Iā€™m having a heart attack for over 12 years with everything from meditation to meds to therapist to medical marijuana I still suffer
