Reframe Your Past, Rewire Your Anxiety


Listen Later

Your brain is constantly predicting the future. And what does it use to make those predictions? Your memories. Join me as we explore the fascinating science behind how memory shapes anxiety—and a simple practice you can use to help retrain your brain’s predictions.

Discover how: 

  • The same brain systems used for memory are also used to imagine the future.
  • Recalling positive memories can lower stress hormones and reduce negative emotions.
  • Reflecting on the meaning of those memories strengthens emotional resilience.
  • Even painful experiences can improve future predictions through “redemptive reflection.”

When you reframe the past, you can reduce anxiety about the future.
