Summary

Do you want to break the anxiety habit? We're talking about how to unwind anxiety & stop worry in its tracks with renowned addiction psychiatrist & neuroscientist, Dr. Jud Brewer. We often think about anxiety as a personality trait, instead of something we can learn & unlearn. So I hope you find this conversation incredibly refreshing & filled with 'aha' moments. Dr. Brewer is sharing tactical, science-backed things anyone can do to build awareness & get unstuck (even if you don't practice mindfulness).
