Is anxiety always the bad guy? Not according to Holly Hoppy!
In this episode of Bunny Wisdom, Holly explores how anxiety helps alert us to possible danger and prepares our bodies to respond. Just like bunnies need to look out for hawks, our brains are constantly checking for things that might be unsafe.
Discover why anxiety can be a helpful part of our survival system, why we don’t need to be ashamed of feeling anxious, and how understanding anxiety can help us respond to ourselves and others with compassion.
