Episode notes

When you don't know that youare anxious, or when the anxiety is sort of hiding from consciousness, it hides. It can also hide in our bodies as we attempt to disconnect from these feelings at the conscious, salient level. I like to think of there's a condition thate all have. You know, it's called the human condition. And in that respect, we all get anxious, and that's what can lead us to these these bad habits.

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, a neuroscientist and addiction psychiatrist, discusses the biological origins of anxiety and how to unwind our feedback loops using techniques derived from his lab’s research.

Since his last appearance on the show, Dr. Jud has written and published a book which is now a NYT bestseller titled Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind which he describes as, “a clinically proven step-by-step plan to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits.”
