Today we’re talking nerdy about the neuroscience of fear and anxiety. In this solo episode with Alex, we’ll dive into how your brain learns and unlearns fear, the difference between healthy fear and anxiety, the role that your amygdala and autonomic nervous system play in your fear response, and 4 key practices you can start using today to work through your own anxiety. Not only will Alex break down what brain regions and neural pathways are associated with fear, but how you can use a conceptual understanding of this neuroscience to create actionable steps towards change.
