ENCORE EPISODE | This episode was so well received that I have decided to share it again now. With so many valuable tips and tools it is worth a listen or a re-listen...Anxiety is a natural form of communication from our subconscious mind and serves an important function. Similar to physical pain, which calls our attention to an injury or other problems with our body. Often anxiety can be a symptom of deeper emotional and mental wounds - whether they are unresolved traumas, self-sabotaging patterns, or limiting beliefs. By identifying and addressing these deeper root causes, you will not only overcome your anxiety but also gain a greater sense of inner peace, wholeness and confidence. Join me on this latest episode of “Empowerment Solutions” where I answer your questions and share with you my tips and tools on how to turn anxiety into a catalyst of growth and personal empowerment.Dr. Friedemann’s Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Something Made You Feel Unsafe (6:09)When It Comes To Healing (12:26)Is There A Quick Fix?

Do you have a hard time finding the mental and emotional space to just enjoy the pleasures of life and have fun? Do you mostly push through your endless daily tasks, trying to ignore stress, anxiety, maybe even anger? Many people feel that this is the most challenging period in their lifetime, which is why fun and pleasure are not at all on their radar.However, studies have shown that if we live this way long term, we are not only overall less productive, we are also shortening our life expectancy. There is a biological reason why we have countless neurons that are all designed for us to experience joy and pleasure. But how can we make use of them if we are always living in a state of struggle and never recharging our system with the things that make our minds and heart truly happy? Are we even allowed to have fun when the world seems to be falling apart? Well, this is what my next guest Dr. Michael Rucker has been writing about in his new book, “The Fun Habit: How the Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Chang

We've all heard about gaslighting… ...but did you know that this word comes from a play which was later on, turned into a movie with Ingrid Bergman, where her husband is trying to make her feel more and more that she's going crazy and losing her mind so that he could send her off to a mental institution and steal her inheritance? So how do you know that you have been gaslit? Dr Friedemann's Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)How Do You Know?

Are you also always looking for ways to improve and grow into the best version of yourself? However, like with all change and growth, more often than we want to, a little inner voice may pipe up and make us wonder and worry about whether we are doing the right thing.This voice may ask: What if I don’t reach my goals?What if I don’t like the results of the change?What if others don’t like me because of how I changed?The paralyzing “what if’s…” can hold us back and keep us small and stuck in our comfort zones.Add to this other familiar inner obstacles like anxiety, lack of self-esteem, or a pattern of putting other people first, and just the idea of change becomes hugely challenging. Unfortunately, the longer we stay stuck, the less we believe in our ability to make a difference for ourselves. If you are ready to make a change but need some direction and support in the process please join me for this week’s episode where I will be sharing the 5 questions to ask and answer about ourselves in order to get back on

Do you also hear yourself saying “I am too busy to take care of myself, call my siblings, enjoy sitting in the yard…….”? Being

Do you believe that your anxiety holds you back from having healthy romantic relationships? You may have told yourself that you are flawed and broken and that, therefore, nobody wants to date you, let alone be with you. Or that you won’t measure up and aren’t worthy of true love and have to settle for anyone willing to accept you.Like so many people I work with, you, too, may struggle not to identify yourself with an anxiety disorder or OCD, believing these emotional challenges define who you are.The truth is that a diagnosis does not define you but is the starting point for your healing journey.Dr Friedemann's Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Dating Is Always Risky (6:00)What Stage Of The Relationship (10:35)Have You Ever Been Rejected?

Did you know that horses get spooked many times throughout the day? There are just certain things that go unnoticed by us that will suddenly cause their body to get tense, their ears to go back, and may even make them start running. Much like the acute awareness of a horse that works to keep them safe, I see our anxious subconscious mind working similarly to keep us safe. Still not seeing the correlation?

Although inner conflict is something that both men and women face often, it is an area of great struggle for men. Being raised in a society that tells them, they need to be tough, ambitious, and competitive makes it hard for them to attend to and share their more sensitive and insecure parts of themselves. If this is an area of struggle for you, please join me for part 2 of my 3 part series on "Men & Anxiety." In today’s episode, I discuss with James the painful realizations, the steps it took to overcome the anxiety, and how he as my client has been doing since their time with me.Dr Friedemann's Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Men Have 2 Or 3 Emotions (5:48)You’re Useless (10:42)My Inner Voice (14:46)Stuck In A Loop (18:43)I Wasn’t Broken (21:56)I’m Enough (29:46)Meet Dr Friedemann:Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

Considering that stress-related illnesses are the most common causes of death among males in our society, it would make sense to take feelings more seriously.But what can men do to start acknowledging, expressing and addressing their challenges with anxiety? It all begins with realizing that anxiety is not a flaw or a sign of weakness and that it takes much more strength and courage to share our challenges and show vulnerability than to hide behind a mask of masculinity.And sometimes it takes others to show us what is possible to believe that we also can overcome our own challenges. Join me in this upcoming podcast series, where I interview four men and clients of mine, who went on the journey to face and overcome their anxiety – to ultimately discover themselves.

For many of us, finding a rhythm that makes any given task less overwhelming is worth way more than what may be considered a quicker way to get it done.But getting started is sometimes the hardest part. How do I move from feeling paralyzed by shame and overwhelmed to getting up and going to wash the dishes?This is where finding a rhythm through playing mental games with yourself can motivate you to get up and take on the task with greater ease.When my guest on tomorrow's podcast KC Davis, feels unmotivated to do house chores, she likes to pretend she is a world-renowned cleaning expert and everyone is watching her on television as one of her motivations. Maybe your motivation is turning on some music and creating movement momentum by dancing through the tasks. Or choose your favourite podcast or TV show to watch or listen to while working could be another.How you find the motivation doesn't matter; it comes down to doing what it takes to get where you want to be - even if it is only in small, baby s

Anger will come and go, but it is our job not to let it take our power when it does arise.  Instead, we should see it as a message from our subconscious that something is out of balance in our world and needs our time and attention.  Join me on this week’s episode of Get Real and learn how to notice where in your life you are stretched too thin and together let’s learn how to let go and just be.Dr. Friedemann's Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Toxic Temptation (6:59)Smoking A Pack Of Cigarettes (13:04)Do We Feel Angry Because...

Anxiety-causing situations pop up in our everyday life. It is not always possible to escape them. However, this doesn't mean we need to be held prisoner by our anxiety either. In fact, it is best for our minds to face head-on and respond to the feelings rather than avoid them. This week my guest Alison Seponara, the anxiety healer and author of the new book: “The Anxiety Healer’s Guide”, joins me to discuss some of her proven ways to manage and cope with the anxiety and stress that comes up in our everyday lives.Dr Friedemann's Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Surprise Party (4:34)Regulate The Nervous System (8:20)Two Concrete Tools (12:32)CBT Work (20:00)Anxiety Is…(27:02)Meditation (30:35)Five Senses Grounding Technique (37:01)Meet Dr Friedemann:Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

There is so much divisiveness in the world, with people having stronger, more righteous opinions expressing themselves at times, even with aggression and anger. Although peace is the foundation of our lives in many ways, we need to don't spend a lot of time focusing on it until we are in crisis. I believe that peace and love are the most significant, most powerful forces in the world, and when we find them inside ourselves, we become the sources of peace needed for the world at large. Are you ready to find your peace? Then join me for this week's episode release of Get Real.Dr Friedemann's Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Peace Is A Foundation (2:29)Restless Society (6:45)Acceptance Mindset (11:30)13 Ways To Be More Peaceful (16:24)Let Go Of The Resistance (21:37)Let Go Of Unreasonable Goals (23:50)Shouldn’t You Be Better (26:04)Practice Patience (30:06)Resolve Your Inner Battles (34:34) Learn more at https://DrFriedemann.com FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com//DrFriedemannINSTAGRAM: https:

It is easy to take our anxiety too personally by letting it become our reality or identity. Like a galactic black hole, anxiety can seem to swallow all our powers and aspirations, leaving us feeling small and helpless. However, anxiety neither demands our power nor aims to shrink us into insignificance. The key to making peace with anxiety is to avoid getting caught in its emotional charge and to decipher the valuable information it has to convey. What if you could embrace anxiety as a friend, an inner navigator, or at least part of you that you want to pay attention to and be curious about? Join me for today’s episode to find out how.

You have disciplined yourself and tried your best to follow through, yet the weight is holding on.…all because somehow you find yourself back at the freezer, sneaking in some ice cream, having your cookie jar in your lap at night when nobody's watching or going to the drive-thru after work for a snack that calorie-wise could just be a meal.
