Greatest Hits: How a Tiger on your doorstep is the perfect metaphor to explain stress and anxiety with Ben Sedley
Today I am bringing you a segment of the show called greatest hits where I take an extract of one of the Art and Being episodes that I absolutely love. There is so much incredible wisdom from our guests in these shows and sometimes some of their profound moments may get lost in the length of the conversations. So with greatest hits; im bringing back little bite sized clips taken from an episode that I think is really inspirational. Whether or not you have heard this clip already or hearing it for the first time; I think we can all gain a lot from being reminded of these insights.
Today's greatest hits clip comes from our conversation with Clinical Psychologist and Author Ben Sedley. In this clip; Ben uses an incredible metaphor about a Tiger being on the loose to explain fear and our shrinking sphere of concern when we are in the thick of stress, anxiety and depression. This metaphor alone has given me such a great understanding of human stresses and how it affects our ability to participate in this life and I have retold this story many times in my day to day life.
The clip is taken from: Ep 9: The Art of Acceptance: How to navigate anxiety, negative thought patterns and mental wellbeing with Ben Sedley
