Lily & Jade

Hello friends! Welcome to Episode One. In this episode, we try our best to lay the foundation for defining anxiety and depression from a medical and personal perspective. We dive into the differences amongst types of therapists, as well as outline a variety of ways to manage anxiety and depression  “the tools in your toolbox”.  We use guidance from adaa.org as a framework for this episode.

We hope you enjoyed this episode. If you have any comments, you can find us at https://bridgemaybeicy.org/ on Facebook (Bridge May Be Icy Podcast) on Instagram (bridgemaybeicypodcast) and on Twitter (@BMBI_Podcast). Thanks for listening!!

“I find that something that is incredibly helpful to me is sitting down and word-vomiting all my feelings onto a page… after I write everything down, it’s a lot less scary.”

-Jade, Episode 01
