What is going on inside the anxious brain? [Ep 13]

Join me in this episode as we explore the fascinating world of neuroscience and its implications for understanding anxiety. I share with you a personal story of my own struggle with anxiety and how diving into the field of neuroscience transformed my perspective and empowered me to take control of my anxiety. We'll start by exploring the nature of anxiety and its prevalence in today's society, highlighting the negative impact it can have on mental and physical well-being. Then, we'll dive into the inner workings of the brain, discussing key regions such as the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus, and their role in shaping our experience of anxiety. Drawing upon the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, we'll offer practical strategies for managing anxiety effectively. From mindfulness meditation and dialectical-behavioral therapy to lifestyle adjustments and stress management techniques, we'll provide tools and techniques to promote brain health and resilience in the face of anxiety.

Listen as I talk about:

- The significance of understanding the neuroscience of anxiety.

- My personal journey with anxiety and neuroscience
