Rewire Your Anxious Brain by Catherine M. Pittman

The brain is powerful, and the more you work to change the way you respond to obsessive thoughts, the more resilient you'll become. You'll also find tons of proven-effective coping strategies to help you manage your worst symptoms. Written by clinical psychologist Catherine Pittman and clinical neuropsychologist William Youngs, this groundbreaking book will show how neurological functions in your brain lead to obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety. Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Rewire Your OCD Brain will show you how and why your brain gets stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking, uncertainty, and worry and offers the tools you need to short-circuit this response and get your symptoms under control-for good. If you've ever wondered why you seem to get trapped in an endless cycle of obsessive, compulsive thoughts, you don't have to wonder anymore. 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.Rewire the brain processes that cause obsessions and compulsions - and take back your life! 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. 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. Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. By comparison the cortex is the center of worry - that is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. 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. 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.

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.
