1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hello, it's Paula Sweet here from Your Absolute Mind, the podcast where we dig deep into all things mental health, with a particular focus on the journey towards mental wellness. In this episode, I take a detailed look at the language we use when we talk about mental health. I delve into the subtle but significant difference between saying &quot;I feel anxious&quot; and &quot;I have anxiety&quot;. While these phrases might seem similar, they paint vastly different pictures of our mental health landscape. Throughout this conversation, I break down these two statements and explore how they can impact not only our personal perception of our mental health but also how others might understand us. As I guide you through this discussion, we examine how such linguistic subtleties might shape our experiences and even influence our relationship with our mental health. The discussion isn't limited to anxiety. I extend the conversation to include conditions like depression, ADHD, and other mental health disorders. Together, we consider how saying &quot;I feel...&quot; rather than &quot;I have...&quot; or &quot;I am...&quot; can serve as a reminder that our current state is changeable and not a permanent fixture of our identities. Finally, I invite you to reflect on the words you use when talking about your mental health and how small changes in language can help shape our reality in a more positive and empowering way. Join me as we explore these themes and together use language to promote a healthier conversation around mental health.
