Anxiety Isn’t What You Think It Is - Interview with Russell Kennedy


Listen Later

If you're struggling to heal anxiety, then this episode could be exactly what you're looking for.

Paul meets Russell Kennedy, AKA the Anxiety MD, and the author of 'Anxiety Rx: A New Prescription For Anxiety Relief From The Doctor Who Created It'.

Russell joins the show to talk about his own battle with anxiety and the startling conclusions as to why traditional anxiety cure approaches are all wrong.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • To heal from anxiety you need to change sub-cortical autonomic nervous system patterns that we have carried over from childhood.
  • When we enter an alarmed state of mind, our brains will often feed us a narrative to support our fears, backing up our flight response.
  • When we see something today that reminds of a trauma, we are mentally transported back in time to our experience with it.
  • There is an unconscious drive is all of us to be looked after, and we did not get that in our younger years, then we subconsciously search for it.
  • QUOTES

    'Changing your thoughts will help you cope, but it really won't help you heal'

    'If your body feels alarmed, your brain will make up stories'

    'The alarm is a representation of our younger self'

    'We offload the responsibility of looking after ourselves onto this magical other'
