Avenging Anxiety: Practical Tools for Families, Caregivers, and Seniors

When it comes to caregiving and aging, anxiety is a silent but ever-present companion. Whether you’re supporting a loved one or navigating your own transition into later life, the emotional toll can be immense. Kelly sits down with Bonnie Brindle—psychotherapist, author, transformational coach, and self-proclaimed “Anxiety Avenger”—to explore the unique challenges of anxiety in senior care and practical strategies for both caregivers and older adults.

Drawing from her own journey through debilitating panic disorder and agoraphobia, Bonnie shares not just clinical wisdom, but lived experience. We dive deep into the actionable tips so you or those you care for can move toward calmer, healthier days.
