Episode notes

Anxiety can trigger the mental behavior of worrying, leading to a cycle where the feeling of nervousness or worry can spiral into uncontrolled thoughts, often veering into panic. The act of worrying provides a sense of control or activity in response to anxiety, creating a feedback loop that reinforces this behavior in future instances of anxiety.

Neuroscientist and addiction expert Dr. Judson Brewer unveils a practical, evidence-based approach to transforming your relationship with anxiety.

Learn how to "unwind" worry and fear by understanding the habit loop of anxiety, applying mindfulness tools, and accessing your brain's innate wisdom. Discover why anxiety persists and how retraining your brain can create more ease and joy, drawing from Jud's research and bestselling book, Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind.
