Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience research, Rewire Your Anxious Brain offers an original, science-based solution to anxiety. Have you ever wondered what happens to your brain when you experience fear or anxiety? or panic? It turns out that the sources of anxiety are parts of the brain such as the amygdala and cortex. The amygdala is responsible for the fight or flight response. While the cortex is the center of the emergence of obsessive thoughts and rumination - endless and aimless “chewing” of what was or could be. Want to learn how to control these important brain functions and stop anxiety when it starts? Clinical psychologist and specialist in the treatment of brain injury and anxiety disorders, Katherine M. Pittman, explains how your brain causes anxiety and how you can influence its functioning. You will find here tips and exercises that will help you take control not only of your anxious thoughts, but also of your reactions. By making small positive changes in your life, you can literally rewire your brain to minimize anxiety and live with courage and activity. The brain is a powerful tool, now is the time to make it work for you, not against you.
