What do you wish more people knew about how anxiety works and what causes it from your perspective? Gosh, well, anxiety used to be my specialism, although now I focus a bit more on anger these days. But they're both they're two of my favourite uh emotions. The main thing I think that people should know about anxiety uh is it's we tend to think of emotions uh in a very simplistic way in our society.

We have very simplistic language for emotions and most people buy into something that psychologists sometimes call the hydraulic model of emotion, which is the idea that emotions are just like a blob of energy that sort of wells up inside you and you can sort of try and push them down or you can sort of vent them or whatever. And That's wrong. That isn't how emotions work, basically. It's massively overly simplistic, unfortunately.
