Retune your anxious brain. How to use the neurology of fear to stop anxiety.

The book "Retrain Your Anxious Brain," based on the results of modern research in the field of neurobiology, offers an original, scientifically based solution to the problem of anxiety. Have you ever thought about what happens to your brain when you experience fear, anxiety, or panic? It turns out that sources of worry include parts of the brain such as the amygdala and the cortex. The amygdala is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, while the cortex is the center of intrusive thoughts and rumination - the endless and aimless "chewing over" of what was or could be. Do you want to learn how to control these important brain functions and stop anxiety when it is just beginning to arise? Clinical psychologist, specialist in treating brain trauma and anxiety disorders, Catherine M. Pittman explains how your brain triggers anxiety and how you can influence its functioning. Here you will find 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 "retrain" 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.
