The Life of YOU: Why Upsetting People Can Be a Good Thing

  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Life of YOU! The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments. This week, I’m joined once again by Owen O’Kane—psychotherapist, bestselling author, and anxiety expert. His book Addicted to Anxiety reveals why so many of us get stuck in worry loops—and more importantly, how to break free. Together, we answer your questions about overthinking, people-pleasing, and how to stop anxiety from taking over your life. Today: 💬 Lucy constantly worries she’s upset people, even when she hasn’t—how can she break this exhausting habit? 💭 Judi struggles to switch off, even when she’s relaxing—how can she stop her brain from ruining moments she’s meant to enjoy? 🤯 Aaron asks why anxious thoughts feel more real than rational ones—why do they always seem so convincing?
