P.S. Younger Self

How Anxiety Can Help You, Not Cripple You


Listen Later

In this month's P.S. Younger Self x Hub Dot's monthly collaboration series, we spoke with Dr. Russ Kennedy who is a neuroscientist, medical doctor and now also an author of the book Anxiety Rx. AKA The Anxiety MD. His passion is to help people recover from anxiety as he too has struggled with chronic anxiety since childhood and he believes anxiety can help you rather than cripple you. 

His game-changing approach to managing anxiety starts with debunking the myth that anxiety is in the mind. Rather he profoundly speaks about how our anxiety stems from old energy from unresolved childhood trauma that is triggering an alarm in our body. And unless we understand and get to that root cause of our trauma, we will continue to let anxiety cripple us. 

We all deal with anxiety to some degree so this episode is for everyone and anyone. You'll learn more from Dr. Russ about: 

  • Understanding how and why anxiety is rooted in our body vs. our mind. 
  • How to identify and localize the alarm in our body that is triggering our anxiety and where the root cause is of our anxiety. 
  • What the alarm really means as it relates to your childhood trauma and how you should address it.
  • How our mind is a meaning making machine and will compulsively want to add thoughts to our alarm in the body. 
  • The two different ways fears are processed in our brain. 
  • How to use the body to heal the mind.  
  • How and why you must see your innocence to start healing from your past. 
  • Understanding social engagement system as it relates to building connections and soothe ourselves. 
  • Why children today have more anxiety than ever.
