Welcome back to the Peace Grows Here Podcast, I'm your host, Yelena Theofilatos.

In today's solo episode, we're diving deep into the pervasive habit of worrying and how it affects our daily lives. Drawing from my experience as a hypnotherapist and coach, we'll explore the deceptive rewards that worrying promises and uncover strategies to break free from its grip.

We explore the intricate nature of worrying as a habit and its impact on our well-being. By dissecting the habit loop, we uncover how worrying masquerades as problem-solving and control, while actually perpetuating anxiety.
