Primal Instincts: Science, Psychology, Fear
Dive into the intricate dance between our primal instincts and modern anxieties.
In this week's episode, my friend Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, and I unpack how our 'animal brains' still dictate much of our reactions, particularly fear - a survival tool turned complex emotion.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
We'll journey through the intriguing landscape of human emotion, discussing how our past traumas shape our present relationships, whom we're drawn to or what feels 'normal,' even when it's harmful and why calmness can feel so unsettling.
Learn how our 'worry buckets' compel us toward a cycle of anxiety, how our brain's confirmation bias reinforces our fears, and why those old fear programs never truly leave us.
This is more than a discussion—it's a pathway to understanding and harnessing your brain's ancient mechanisms in your modern life.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
