In this episode of The Healthy Mind Podcast, Dr. Steven Resnick tackles one of today's most pressing health issues—mastering anxiety. With a dual perspective combining neurology and psychology, Dr. Steven explores how anxiety manifests uniquely in each individual and addresses the stigma associated with anxiety symptoms. By delineating the complex interplay between the mind and body, he provides practical advice to help patients recognize and manage anxiety beyond just medication.
Dr Steven discusses the importance of understanding the perception of threat and how it influences neurological responses and by adopting a counterintuitive approach that involves facing and accepting anxiety, patients can retrain their brains, reducing the perception of constant danger.
Also in this episode:
Anxiety is a complex condition that varies with each individual, often manifesting through unexplained physical symptoms.
Avoidance behavior reinforces anxiety, while facing anxiety helps to retrain the brain to perceive safety.
The amygdala plays a central role in anxiety, processing perceived threats and impacting memory and sensory experiences.
Anxiety and worry, although maladaptive, originally serve as protective mechanisms that can lead to chronic stress if unchecked.
