How much time, energy and money have you spent on talk-therapy and medications trying to deal with your anxiety?

 

Most people (doctors included) think anxiety is caused by a combination of genetics and stressful or traumatic events. It’s a thinking problem that must be understood before it can be solved. So we spend countless hours combing through childhood traumas, assessing attachment styles and experimenting with substances to balance our brain chemistry. 

 

With nothing to show for it. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health diagnosis in the United States.

 

But anxiety isn’t in your head, as most people assume. There is an alarm going off in your nervous system that causes overwhelming sensations of fight or flight, doom and gloom. The brain is simply projecting those feelings into whatever you’re thinking about. 

 

Healing anxiety requires you to address the root cause, which is the full-body, present-moment experience in your nervous system—not the story you’re telling yourself about why you feel the way you feel. 

 

Dr. Russell Kennedy is here to explain where anxiety lives in your body and how to use simple, somatic practices to create a sense of safety and calm in your nervous system so that you are no longer held hostage by your own mind.
