Learn how to process your emotions to relieve anxiety with Michelle Chalfant

 

 

Welcome back to the Anxiety Slayer podcast. Today Shann is speaking with Michelle Chalfant, Therapist, speaker and author of The Adult Chair: A Guide to Loving Yourself and host of The Adult Chair podcast. Today's conversation is about learning how to process your emotions to relieve anxiety.


Michelle Chalfant has a practice in Nashville, TN, where she helps people relieve their emotional pain, such as anxiety, depression, codependency and relationship issues. She created and teaches a transformational process called The Adult Chair that helps people uncover and correct limiting beliefs and false stories that keep them stuck. Her podcast The Adult Chair, now on its third year on air, has been an avenue to share this message through interviews and conversations around stress, anxiety, depression, codependency, self-love, getting unstuck, removing masks, emotional balance, and how our understanding of ourselves impacts the most important relationships in our lives.
