Today's podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Program:

Russell is an MD and Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert. 

As a physician, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and a professional stand-up comedian who struggled with crippling anxiety for decades and has finally healed, he is here to personally guide people through non-traditional treatments for anxiety. 

Using a combination of neuroscience, somatic work and psychedelics, he’s uncovered a brand-new way of approaching and healing anxiety in himself and his patients. Instead of your anxiety completely controlling you, he will show you how to completely control your anxiety.

He is also the author of the book Anxiety Rx A New Prescription for Anxiety Relief from the Doctor Who Created It.

 

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast: 

  • Anxiety is deeply rooted in the body and requires a somatic approach for effective treatment.

  • The alarm anxiety cycle explains the connection between trauma, body sensations, and anxious thoughts.

  • Psychedelics and alternative therapies offer potential solutions for anxiety relief, but somatic therapy is a crucial foundation for healing.

  • Understanding the body-mind disconnect and addressing childhood trauma are essential for managing anxiety.

  • The resistance to body-based therapy and the role of addictions in avoiding self-love are important considerations in anxiety treatment. Psychedelics can be a potential treatment for anxiety, but the timing and approach are crucial.

  • Anxiety creates a sense of control, and psychedelics take away that sense of control, making it challenging for individuals with anxiety.

  • Uncertainty is the foundation of healing, and embracing uncertainty is essential for overcoming anxiety.
