      <description><![CDATA[<p>Navigating our mental wellness takes work – and it’s increasingly difficult to do it on our own. On this week’s episode of Cautious Coffee, DeRae and Austin are joined by <a href="https://www.freeindeedtherapy.com/jeremy/" target="_blank">Jeremy Paxton</a>, a licensed professional counselor, and delve into the intricacies of mental health, anxiety, and the impact of traumatic experiences.</p><p>The conversation stems from a recent anxiety attack experienced by Austin in which he initially interpreted as a potential heart attack. This incident leads to a broader conversation about the importance of mental health awareness and seeking professional help. They discuss the significance of understanding and acknowledging one's emotions, especially in men who often face societal pressure to conceal their feelings.</p><p>Paxton, based in Houston, emphasizes the importance of recognizing the physical and emotional signs of these conditions and the effectiveness of therapy in managing them. The discussion covers various topics, including the impact of traumatic brain injuries, generational differences in expressing emotions, and the role of modern technology in exacerbating mental health issues.</p><p>The episode closes with a discussion on how to access mental health resources, including through employer benefits and online platforms. </p>
