Did you know anxiety can make us doubt? And doubt can make us check and checking can lead to more doubt and anxiety.
Understanding doubt and anxiety can be a difficult topic to get our heads around. Adam Radomsky, professor in Concordia's Department of Psychology and Research Chair in Anxiety and Related Disorders, tackles misconceptions about anxiety. He will also discuss how his research has impacted therapy.
