Anxiety is meant to keep you safe. It alerts you to danger and helps you respond to life-threatening situations. But most of us have some faulty anxiety alarm bells that go off when we're not in life-or-death situations.

You already have some strategies that help you cope with anxiety, like scrolling through your phone. Short-term solutions, however, aren't addressing the underlying cause of your anxiety. And they won't heal your symptoms.

According to Dr. Russell Kennedy, a physician and neuroscientist, there are some simple steps that uncover the root of your anxiety so you can heal your old emotional wounds. Some of the things he shares are how to recognize your anxiety alarms, identify the root cause of your pain, and heal from it once and for all.
