About this listen

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.

This book explains all the complex things that happen in your brain that can trigger anxiety and/or panic attacks. It's more than just insightful it teaches step by step what you can do to train your amygdala and your cortex to reduce anxiety and panic attacks.
I've suffered from panic attacks for most of my life, and it's been under control for the most part until the 2020 Covid-19 breakdown.
This book helped at the beginning of the pandemic (while starting medication for anxiety for the first time), and it's helping me now that I'm stopping taking the drug.

This is a must for people suffering from panic attacks and/or anxiety disorder.
