Overcoming Anxiety: Insights on Subconscious Influence and Mindfulness Techniques

In this episode of The Healthy Mind Podcast, Dr. Steven Resnick dives into the intricate world of emotional health, focusing particularly on overcoming anxiety and its roots in the subconscious. Dr. Resnick explains how 90 to 95% of our behaviors and reactions are dictated by subconscious patterns established in early childhood. These subconscious patterns heavily influence our perceptions of danger, anxiety, and stress. He discusses the role of the brain's prediction mechanisms and how conditioned responses lead to anxiety disorders.

The episode explores the connection between emotional health and habitual responses to anxiety, offering practical insights into how we can observe and alter these deeply ingrained behaviors.

Also in this episode:

• The brain creates conditioned responses to perceived threats, contributing to anxiety.
• Learning to observe and accept physical anxiety symptoms can diminish their impact.
• Enhancing mindfulness helps deactivate the default mode network, reducing anxiety.
• Recognizing and managing agitation can prevent an escalation to full anxiety episodes.
