Anxiety Connection

For 4 years we’ve come together at our Anxiety Connection to talk about what causes our anxiety, how anxiety affects our lives, and what we can do to feel better. We’ve explored practical things we can do to ease our fears. We’ve shared our common experience of dealing with our negative thoughts. And we’ve united in community of caring and support.

In the U.S., women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety, and the reasons might surprise you. While there are all sorts of things that can make us anxious, some of those things are specific to women. In this episode we explore those causes, and I also share one of the best techniques I know to calm anxiety instantly.

While we all share important similarities, we’re also uniquely different. And it’s the same with our brains. Just the way no two of us are alike, no two brains are alike as well. Understanding these similarities and differences can offer us a new way to look at our relationship with ourselves, the people around us, and can deepen our understanding of how we respond to our anxiety.

In the second episode of this 10-part mini-series, we take a clear look at the science of how fear shows up in our brain.
