My anxiety mentor, Dr. Catherine Pittman, joins us on the show for the third time to discuss her latest book Rewire Your OCD Brain: Powerful Neuroscience-Based Skills to Break Free from Obsessive Thoughts and Fears.

Catherine is a professor and teaching is one of her greatest joys, so I thought it would be fun to switch things up a bit. Rather than me asking questions, I wanted to give you a look into what it'd feel like to sit inside one of her classes.

Today's lecture focuses on how and why your brain gets stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking, uncertainty, and worry, and the tools you need to short-circuit this response and get your symptoms under control—for good.

Today, we're chatting about...

• Who Rewire Your OCD Brain is for
• What OCD is
• Where anxiety comes from in the brain
• Why you have symptoms when anxious
• The role the cortex plays in anxiety
• Why the amygdala is important
• Were fear memories are stored
• The importance of keeping your cortex calm if you live with OCD
• Why you need to get off the worry channel
• The benefits of worry
• How you can heal OCD
