BITESIZE | How to Break the Anxiety Cycle | Dr Russell Kennedy #667
"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.
