Can you heal from anxiety rather than just cope with it?

Oh man - What an episode - Today, I'm diving deep into the world of anxiety with the amazing Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka the Anxiety MD. Who has a strong back ground in Neuroscience, mind body connection, even psychedelics.

He also also written a best selling book called Anxiety Rx & award winning program called MBRX - teaching people how to HEAL from Anxiety.

This conversation is all about getting real about anxiety and discovering how to truly heal from it.

Dr. Kennedy's story is anything but conventional. He went from being a doctor to finding solace in stand-up comedy, all the while realizing how our childhood experiences tend to echo through our lives. Freud wasn't wrong when he talked about patterns from our past playing out in our present.

In this chat, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of how our childhood separations can actually trigger anxiety in our adult lives. Dr. Kennedy explains this mind-body connection in a way that really hits home. Those moments of separation in our early years? They can make us feel like the world is a scary place.

But here's the cool part—we explore how to bridge those uncertain moments and create a sense of safety, especially after separations. It's about nurturing that inner sense of security and reconnecting when we feel apart.

Dr. Kennedy flips the script on anxiety. Instead of seeing it as a burden, he paints it as a guide—a beacon leading us to our younger, wounded selves that need a bit of TLC. Yep, anxiety can be a messenger, nudging us to pay attention to those parts of us that need healing.

Join us on this journey of self-discovery as we learn to rebuild connections and find strength in vulnerability. Dr. Kennedy's insights are eye-opening, showing us that anxiety isn't just a problem; it's an opportunity for growth and self-repair.
