Quieting Anxiety Episode 47: Paradoxical Intention for Anxiety Relief

Welcome to Episode 47 of Quieting Anxiety by Excel At Life. What if the best way to stop fearing anxiety… is to invite it? In this episode of Quieting Anxiety, Dr. Monica Frank explores the counterintuitive CBT technique known as paradoxical intention—or as she calls it, “Exaggerate the Fear.” Instead of avoiding anxious thoughts and symptoms, this approach encourages you to lean in and amplify them—on purpose. Learn how this strategy: ● Breaks the cycle of resistance ● Helps you tolerate and even mock your anxiety ● Gives you back a sense of control ● Uses irony to disarm fear You’ll also hear clinical examples, practical ways to practice this method, and how it differs from other exposure strategies. Plus, a grounding exercise is included for you to use any time your anxiety spikes during practice. 📌 Important Note: Exposure therapy is a powerful technique that should be guided by a qualified mental health professional. This episode is for informational purposes only—not for self-treatment. If you’re new to Quieting Anxiety, we recommend starting from earlier episodes to build a foundation before tackling this advanced work.
