Neuroscientist Claims Anxiety Originates in Body Not Mind Contradicting Standard Treatment
Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee
BITESIZE | How to Break the Anxiety Cycle | Dr Russell Kennedy #667
What was said
"It's the alarm in your body that's causing the thoughts of your mind. The thoughts of your mind aren't the originator of your anxiety. It's really difficult to think in opposition to how your body feels. It's just a constant uphill battle."
Dr. Russell Kennedy argues that anxiety treatment focuses on the wrong target by addressing worried thoughts rather than stored bodily trauma he calls 'alarm.' He claims this bodily alarm from unresolved childhood trauma drives anxious thinking, not the reverse, fundamentally challenging cognitive-based anxiety therapies that dominate Western medicine.
