Description
Based on cutting-edge neuroscience and research, "Control Your Anxiety: Rewire Your Brain" offers an evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety. You will discover how anxiety is produced in your brain, and learn strategies to put you in control of your anxious thoughts. As it turns out, the amygdala and the cortex, both important parts of the brain, are the sources of anxiety. One is in charge of our fight-or-flight response, and the other is the source of worry and obsession. The brain is a powerful tool, so isn't it time you made it work for you instead of against you? By creating small changes in your life, you can rewire the circuits in your brain to minimize your anxiety and start living a better life. The book is useful to professional psychologists and helpful for people in the general public.
