Episode notes

Fear plus uncertainty equals anxiety. What does somebody do about this? If I'm experiencing anxiety, like we don't have to talk about this in the abstract, maybe you can walk me through it right now. This actually is why I wrote this book was I was seeing over and over in my clinic and in my research studies that there is actually a clear three step process that's relatively straightforward. The first step would be to map out our habit lips.

Addiction psychiatrist Judson Brewer, M.D. (author, Unwinding Anxiety) explains the surprising connection between bad habits and anxiety. Dr. Jud and Greg discuss how fear, worry, and evolutionary origins contribute to addictive behaviors and cycles. They explore specific techniques and a step-by-step process to effectively reduce anxiety.
