TAPP #58: Anxiety Recovery in 2020
Wednesday Dec 25, 2019
Wednesday Dec 25, 2019
2020 is the year to prove your old self wrong. On this podcast episode I talk about the challenges you need to confront in order to overcome anxiety. Recovery is a long term game, and it requires facing situations that you do not want to face. Pain is necessary for growth and strengthening the mind. The challenges I talk about in this episode are: avoiding negative friends and add positive models, meditate daily, stop reassurance seeking, and seek out challenges for growth. These are very important because they shift your character, your identity, and make you stronger mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

TAPP #57: Anxiety during the Holidays
Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
It is that time of year and the holiday season can add more weight onto your already sensitized mind. On this podcast episode, I talk about techniques that are important for handling the anxiety you feel. When there is a long list of to-dos and many holiday get togethers to attend, you may feel like avoiding them because of your high levels of anxiety. It is important that you don't avoid them. You need to be continually placing yourself in uncomfortable scenarios in order to strengthen the mind and create new neuronal pathways. The holiday season is the perfect time to challenge old limiting thought patterns and to place yourself in situations you have avoided in the past. The new you finds self growth in these situations rather than dread and despair. Implement the techniques mentioned in this podcast to better tackle the challenges that lye ahead of you this holiday season.

TAPP #56: A Technique For Anxiety
Wednesday Dec 11, 2019
Wednesday Dec 11, 2019
On episode #56, I talk about a technique that lessons your sensitivity to high panic and high anxious situations. The technique is flooding. Flooding is when you place yourself in a high anxiety situation and you ride the wave (give in and surrender to the sensations) of panic. It is important to not avoid the places that make you feel iffy because you are only strengthening your fear to that situation. By flooding, you are desensitizing your fear of the situation and thus strengthening and stimulating a new neuro pathway that now promotes safety rather than dread. You have to activate to generate.

TAPP #55: The Anxiety Response (The Amygdala)
Wednesday Dec 04, 2019
Wednesday Dec 04, 2019
On this episode of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I go over the part of the brain that initiates the anxiety response, the amygdala. The amygdala, when activated, prepares the body to flight, fight, or freeze. When doing so, there is an increase in cortisol and adrenaline within the body, which then creates a wide range of anxiety symptoms. Some symptoms include: shallow depth of field, racing heart, perspiration, and shallow breathing. These symptoms of anxiety can be misinterpreted as being life threatening, which then makes your anxiety spiral out of control. When we look at these symptoms as being a natural defensive response produced from the amygdala, we then lesson the impact of the anxiety we experience. In this episode, I go over the amygdala and its response to perceived threats, as well as how we can use the amygdala to better control our anxiety.
