Rewire Your Anxious Brain

How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry

De: Catherine M. Pittman PhD, Elizabeth M. Karle MLIS

Narrado por: Susannah Mars

Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety, based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research.

In this audiobook you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison the cortex is the center of worry - that is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen.

Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. As you listen, you'll gain a greater understanding of how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it.

The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally "rewire" the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

Extremely helpful book

This book is a really good tool on understanding the way your brain functions to help you manage anxiety. I went threw two suicides three weeks apart with people extremely close to me. This book has really helped to understand why you feel helpless sometimes like you can't control your reactions and emotions but gives you the tools on how this works so you can gain control again and manage your life.

Makes you understand the origins of your anxieties so you can rewire the areas that are specifically affected in your brain

Extremely helpful

Finished in under a week. I have already shared this book with friends and family. If you have any degree of anxiety, stress or worry, this would be very useful to you.

Good stuff, it’s heavy though

It’s sad to think that some people won’t’ ever hear this. This is beneficial but harder to digest

Helpful

Really learned a lot about anxiety. I think I might actually read it again as it appears takes practice to change how you feel and react to things.

very helpful

this book was incredibly helpful. it explains why some therapies won't work and how you can distinguish the right therapy for you.
