Understanding Anxiety: The Difference Between Noticing vs. Checking In | EP 047

In this podcast episode, DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco discussed the difference between "noticing" and "checking in," particularly in relation to depersonalization and anxiety. They explained that noticing involves being aware of stimuli without much brain work, while checking in is an active search for something specific, often due to heightened awareness or resistance.
Aida and Michelle emphasized the importance of accepting past mistakes and being non-judgmental about experiences. They also talked about handling discomfort and sensitization in anxiety, encouraging listeners to endure and resist the urge to fight discomfort.

I started participating in DARE about a year ago. And I read a comment similar to the one I’m typing. I thought it would never go away and get easier but it has. I bought the book and have been facing my anxiety instead of trying to run from it and being scared of it. It has helped a lot. Sure I still get some check ins with it here and there but that’s like once a week not every other hour.

I liked the question about worry as worry is something I do a lot and the worries then cause anxiety. 10:00
