I can cope

27/08/2026

🚗 After 15 years off the road, Jonty drove 250 miles in ONE week.

And the anxiety left him halfway there. 💛

In our new episode of the I Can Cope Method Podcast, we talk honestly about what actually helped:

✨ Looking at the BEST case scenario, not the worst
✨ Asking "is this thought logical?"
✨ Learning to tell those negative thoughts where to go

If driving anxiety, panic or those 3am spirals have been holding you back — this one's for you. It does get better.

🧠 Ever feel like your brain's turned to mush after hours of scrolling? You're not alone.

In this week's I Can Cope Method Podcast, Charlotte and Jonty tackle "brain rot" — what happens when social media eats your attention span and feeds your anxiety. A study published in Psychological Reports found more than half of young adults spend five hours or more every single day on social media. That's not just a bad habit — it's rewiring how we think.

They talk doom scrolling spirals, overthinking, why sitting with a book feels impossible now, and Jonty shares what happened when anxiety hit him mid-crowd at a London jazz concert. It's two people who live with anxiety every day, talking honestly — no scripts, no sugar-coating.

What if everything you worried about for six months… never happened?
My Worst Case Scenario Never Came - Anxious To Content In 6 Months

That's exactly what happened to Jonty. He spent half a year dreading a house move — and every single fear turned out to be wrong. In this episode, Charlotte and Jonty talk about why our brains fixate on worst-case scenarios, the surprising difference between being happy and being content, and why Jonty says losing all his money was the best thing that ever happened to him.

🚗 15 years. That's how long Jonty went without driving. The anxiety. The panic in traffic. The flood of negative memories the moment things got stressful behind the wheel. It all felt permanent.Then he tried hypnotherapy.In our latest episode, Jonty tells the story of finally getting back behind the wheel of Bubbles (his bright yellow Fiat 500x 🐠), and I break down exactly how hypnotherapy works to rewire driving anxiety — from identifying your triggers, to visualising your "best outcome," to the affirmations that actually change how you feel in the driver's seat.If you've ever dreaded a roundabout, avoided motorways, or felt trapped every time you're stuck in traffic — this one's for you.🎧 Watch here: https://youtu.be/uI4XL_ugTZ4
