When Dr. Judson Brewer started his career, his approach to treat anxiety reflected what he had learned in medical school: diagnose and medicate, but what he found very early on was that medication was not enough. Actually, for most of his patients, it didn’t help at all, so he tried a new path, and, as most curious, restless minds do, Dr. Judson questioned everything he knew. Today, Dr. Jud, as he is worldly known, approaches anxiety as a habit, something that can be learned, and consequently, unlearned. How? That’s what he shares with us in this interview.

I invited him to be a guest on my podcast after I finished his insightful book “Unwinding anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind.” What I love about the way he presents anxiety is the fact that he introduces this topic in a fresh, bold perspective, which will certainly challenge the way you look at it. Not only that, but most importantly, his vision empowers us to reclaim our ability to change. 

In this interview, Dr. Jud offers us effective tools to combat not just anxiety but unhealthy habits, including addictions, that sometimes take over our lives.

Quote: “What we resist, persists, and what we feel, heals.”
