On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent and Dave start their journey, across multiple episodes, into exploring the topic of anxiety.

For this episode, the boys set the scene by doing some ‘self-exploration’ into anxiety and by talking all about what anxiety is, how it occurs, what happens to us when it occurs and how we tend to respond to it. The boys discuss and share:

their expertise, knowledge and experience about the impacts of anxiety – Dave, from a professional perspective, and Trent, from a personal lived/living experience,
why we have emotions like anxiety, what they’re made up of and how we can best work with them,
the relevance and importance of ‘flight’, ‘fright’ and ‘freeze’, as well as
what “safety behaviours” are and why they’re important.
