Rewire Your Anxious Brain

Have you ever wondered what happens in the brain when you experience fear, anxiety, or panic? It turns out that sources of anxiety lie in parts of the brain such as the amygdala and the cortex. The amygdala is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. Meanwhile, the cortex is the center of obsessive thoughts and rumination - the endless and aimless "chewing over" of what has been or might be. Want to learn how to manage these important brain functions and stop anxiety when it first begins to emerge? In the book "Rewire Your Anxious Brain," based on the results of modern research in neuroscience, an original, scientifically grounded solution to the problem of anxiety is proposed. Clinical psychologist and specialist in treating traumatic brain injuries and anxiety disorders, Catherine M. Pittman explains how your brain triggers anxiety and how you can influence its functioning. You will find tips and exercises here 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 start living boldly and actively.
The brain is a powerful tool; it’s time to make it work for you, not against you.
