Ep. 68 - Anxiety is not what you think | Dr. Judson Brewer

<p>When Dr. Judson Brewer started his career, his approach to treat anxiety reflected what he had learned in medical school: diagnose and medicate, but what he found very early on was that medication was not enough. Actually, for most of his patients, it didn’t help at all, so he tried a new path, and, as most curious, restless minds do, Dr. Judson questioned everything he knew. Today, Dr. Jud, as he is worldly known, approaches anxiety as a habit, something that can be learned, and consequently, unlearned. How? That’s what he shares with us in this interview.</p> <p>I invited him to be a guest on my podcast after I finished his insightful book <em>“Unwinding anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind.</em>” What I love about the way he presents anxiety is the fact that he introduces this topic in a fresh, bold perspective, which will certainly challenge the way you look at it. Not only that, but most importantly, his vision empowers us to reclaim our ability to change.&nbsp;</p> <p>In this interview, Dr. Jud offers us effective tools to combat not just anxiety but unhealthy habits, including addictions, that sometimes take over our lives.</p> <p>Quote:<em> “What we resist, persists, and what we feel, heals.”</em></p> <p>To learn more about Dr. Judson Brewer, visit: <a href="http://www.drjud.com/">www.drjud.com</a></p> <p>Watch this interview on my YouTube channel "Understand Suicide:” &nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/2QMS0H4">https://bit.ly/2QMS0H4</a></p> <p>Donate to the podcast: <a href="https://bit.ly/3maL9RO ">https://bit.ly/3maL9RO &nbsp;</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Visit my page <a href="//www.understandsuicide.com ">www.understandsuicide.com &nbsp;</a></p> <p>Find my book "Understanding suicide: living with loss, paths to prevention:”&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2ANczuR ">https://amzn.to/2ANczuR&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Exchange experiences on my Facebook page: <a href="https://bit.ly/3h8sIet">https://bit.ly/3h8sIet</a></p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice messag
