There are two ways to anxiety — either through the ancient brain or the thinking brain. It’s helpful to know where your anxiety begins, as this is a clue which strategy will be most helpful in reducing it.
In Episode 18, Paige delves into the relationship between the brain, body, and stuttering, focusing on anxiety. The episode introduces insights from the book 'Rewire Your Anxious Brain,' exploring how anxiety manifests through the ancient brain (amygdala) and the thinking brain (cerebral cortex).
Addressing the prevalence of anxiety in stuttering experiences, Paige distinguishes between fear and anxiety, emphasizing their role in speaking situations. The two paths to anxiety are: the primal responses of the amygdala and the conscious anticipation of the cerebral cortex. Strategies for tackling anxiety include leveraging neuroplasticity to rewire the amygdala through relaxation techniques and reshaping thought patterns.
