Summary

For this episode my guest is the incredible cognitive neuroscientist and author Dr Caroline Leaf. We talk about anxiety and how important it is as a messaging system and how we should not want to live a life without any anxiety at all. In her new book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, she talks through the 5 steps of neurocycling - which is a term I had never heard before - and how it will help with phases of considerable stress, anxiety and depression. We use my own experience as an example (I got the date wrong for our recording and FREAKED out when I realised I had messed up). I hope you find this episode and Caroline's insights helpful. Her new book is available now. My new book NAKED is available here.

0:28.6	Hello, dear listener and welcome back to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Foran, author of three books, owning it, the confidence kit and my latest book, Naked Ten Truths
0:34.2	to Change Your Life. This week on the series, I'm joined by another author,
0:38.1	but she's maybe just a little bit more impressive than me because she is a cognitive
0:41.8	neuroscientist. I am none of that, but she's brilliant. Her name is Dr. Caroline Leif,
0:47.1	you might have heard of her before, and we have an amazing chat about her new book,
0:51.2	Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, which is a must read and it's all about
0:55.3	neuropsychling and how effective that can be for dealing with trauma, stress, and obviously,
1:00.5	as is relevant here to this podcast, how neurocycling can help with anxiety. Dr. Caroline has a
1:06.3	lot to say. She gets very scientific, but I hope that you can follow it easily and take something from it
1:12.7	she talks a lot of sense and her Instagram is well worth to follow especially for little daily
1:17.9	reminders of reassurance and just things that make you feel a little bit more like you can
1:22.8	cope and I found it an incredible source for me so I know know you will too. Her book is out now.
1:27.8	As I said, it's well worth a read,
1:29.2	and I hope that this is well worth to listen, so do enjoy.
1:38.6	Dr. Caroline Leif, thank you so, so much for joining me on Onyat the Anxiety Podcast. I'm honored to have someone of your incredible accomplishments on the podcast.

Yes, we will make some magic now with our synergy in our names.
2:01.3	So Caroline, you have spent the last 30 years studying the mind-brain connection, which is just
2:07.1	astonishing to me.
2:08.1	I'm only a couple of years into trying to wrap my head around it.
2:11.8	But I'd love to ask you, how would you differentiate the two, like the mind and the brain?
2:16.5	Because people think of them as one,
2:17.9	I think. Yes, you're quite right. And Caroline, I've been in this field, it's actually closer
