Today, we talk to Joshua Fletcher, who just released his new course, Stop Fearing Fear with Anxiety Josh: Help For Panic Disorders. The course was created for people struggling with panic disorders, agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders. 

In this episode, Drew and Josh talk about understanding the fear of fear, compassion and its role in exposures and recovery, and why Josh’s course is so heavy on the concepts of compassion and proper reactions. Drew and Josh also engage in a slightly spicy discussion about all the ‘dangerous’ courses out there that should be avoided.
