"Short-Term Anxiety Relief Can Fuel Long-Term Fear”

In this insightful episode of the Choosing Help podcast, Dr. Tracy Stecker is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Reigns to explore the often overlooked topic of safety aids—behaviors and cognitive strategies people use to reduce anxiety in the moment but that can paradoxically increase anxiety over time.

From everyday examples like drinking alcohol or a child’s security blanket to more complex behaviors such as avoidance and mental distractions, they break down how these safety aids develop, why they persist, and how they can become barriers to true healing. The conversation delves into how to identify when safety aids become problematic, the impact on daily functioning, and practical steps to gradually reduce reliance on them through behavioral experiments and cognitive reframing.

Real-world stories, including personal experiences and clinical cases, illustrate the challenges and successes in overcoming safety aids. Whether you struggle with anxiety yourself or support someone who does, this episode offers compassionate, expert guidance on confronting fear, breaking cycles of avoidance, and fostering courage to choose help and embrace life.

Resources for further support are also shared. Tune in for a powerful discussion that demystifies anxiety management and empowers listeners to reclaim control over their fears.

Teenage anxiety is more than a buzzword—it’s a growing reality for families navigating a rapidly changing world.

While stress and worry have always been part of adolescence, today’s teens face pressures that previous generations never experienced: social media, heightened academic competition, constant digital communication, and a world that often feels uncertain.

In a recent conversation with licensed clinical social worker and author Sophia Galano, who wrote "Calming Teenage Anxiety: A Parent’s Guide to Helping Your Teenager Cope with Worry and Stress", she shared powerful insights about what today’s teens are facing and how parents can better support them.

New podcast episode (link in comments):

In this episode, Dr. Tracy Stecker and Dr. Nicholas Allen dive deep into the science of anxiety and its many forms. They unpack the concept of anxiety sensitivity—a heightened fear of bodily sensations—and explore how it drives avoidance behaviors that disrupt daily life.

Dr. Allen shares evidence-based treatments, including exercise programs and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques like interoceptive exposure, which help individuals confront and manage feared sensations.

The conversation also tackles social anxiety and its unique challenges, from fear of judgment to intolerance of uncertainty. Learn how CBT strategies, gradual exposure, and cognitive reframing can empower individuals to reduce anxiety sensitivity, face uncertainty, and reclaim their lives.

Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or someone seeking practical tools for anxiety, this episode offers insights grounded in science and hope.
