1 小时 25 分钟The emotion of anxiety is not a disease.
It is a normal human emotion.
And evolutionarily that evolved to protect us from danger.
And that is why we are here today.
People can usually say, okay, I get that, that sounds good.
I buy that.
But still, I'm not feeling protected one eatsy beetsy little bit from my anxiety.
And the answer is no, we're not, because the volume of our anxiety is turned up way high.
And so the big part of the book, good anxiety, is about providing science based approaches to turn the volume down, not to get rid of it again, it's normal human emotion, but to start to turn it down.
So anxiety, even saying the word makes me a bit anxious.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or helpless in the face of anxiety?
Like the more you try to manage it, the more out of control it becomes?
Maybe it's in social situations where you're surrounded by new people, or work situations where it's so easy to start spinning about everything from how you'll be perceived to what happens if you stumble.
Or maybe it's just the state of your life, the state of relationships, family, community, and even the world that triggers anxiety.
And if so, you're not alone.
But what if there was a counterintuitively simple way to unwind anxiety and compact to calm?
And what if that uneasy feeling that so many of us have been experiencing lately also came with unexpected upsides?
Well, that's what we're talking about today.
In this special episode, we will explore the neuroscience, psychology, and practical techniques behind transforming your relationship with anxiety.
You'll hear from neuroscientist doctor Wendy Suzuki on how anxiety physiologically affects the brain.
