Anxiety, addiction, and avoidance with Rob Baumgartner

In this episode of The Anxious Child podcast, we have Rob Baumgartner who shares his inspiring story around childhood anxiety. Rob has many hard-won insights to share along with his incredible story of rising from the wreckage (quite literally!) of his life and getting to a place of not only being able to recognize and manage his anxiety in a healthy way but also to now helping others. It's a fascinating look at how anxiety may not always be readily apparent or recognized and also how anyone can turn their life around from Substance Use Disorder. Rob now works at the Phoenix which is an amazing organization that provides FREE services for people struggling with Substance Use Disorder. Check them out here: www.https://thephoenix.org/
