Physician Reveals Personal Childhood Trauma Behind Development of Anxiety Theory
Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee
BITESIZE | How to Break the Anxiety Cycle | Dr Russell Kennedy #667
What was said
"I believe that that alarm is my younger self, is my wounded self that watched my schizophrenic father just sort of slowly collapse until he eventually committed suicide."
Kennedy disclosed that his approach to treating anxiety stems from his own experience watching his schizophrenic father's decline and eventual suicide. This personal revelation provides context for his heterodox body-first treatment method and adds emotional weight to his clinical framework.
