Change Your Brain to Overcome Anxiety

How to overcome anxiety naturally by rewiring and reprogramming an overactive amygdala. The amygdala is a structure in the brain that can trigger anxiety, it acts like a burglar alarm scanning the environment for what it has been programmed is threatening. Brain scans show the amygdala is overactive in the anxious brain that the good news is you can calm down and overactive amygdala with the right type of brain training and reprogram what it has been programmed to believe is a threat so that it stops bombarding your mind with a state of anxiety and panic attacks.

This video makes to 1001% sense for me. I understood how I overcame my anxiety. I threw away all my med that the doctors gave me and then I decided to built up my confidence to be more confident when talking with people. I put myself in this "stressful" situations but tried to stay there, even when I felt uncomfortable. After a time the physical reactions like sweating an feeling anxious went away. My amygdala was step by step rewritten. Thank you so much for this video!

I must say this is the best anxiety video I’ve ever seen. That’s for giving us hope. Some people say it’s not curable. :(

I love that he says that cognitive based therapies can't really help with this. Exactly what I've been telling therapists for years and they just act like I'm non compliant or some other load of bs.
Learning this sort of thing has changed my life for the better while therapy made it worse.

The brain is cruel, only need an anxiety thought for a split second and then I spent the next 6 months or more trying to over come that fear (Agoraphobia) literally throwing up walking out the door, had to do this for months and months to where I felt at least half comfortable for then my stupid brain to latch onto another fear, then another, great video, you explained it very well but I do think that some people are just mullered with a hyperactive amygdala looking for danger all the time, I just want mine removed, its ruined my life.

I am in a 24x7 panic state since the last few weeks. Knew this could be the amygdala but your video brought in lots of clarity as to the map of atrocities this guys does. Hats off to your knowledge and your articulation which brings the interest. Subscribed bro.

Best explanation i ever come across to understand amygdala hijack

[sergii_real_estate]

After brain collapse and struggling for 10 months what's going on with me, I was able to rewire almost every piece of anxiety in my brain exposing myself to things that was shooting panics to my brain.
What also worked for me is a feeling as I'm a legend and doing legendary stuff creating superhuman in myself.
Except one thing, which is so difficult to do - it's checking on how am I talking. I lost the flaw in the way how I talk constantly checking am I choosing words and how slow I am. Unfortunately that became my issue over time when my brain was down. And exposing myself to different conversations doesn't help, because you need to talk and you don't get no time for amygdala to calm down and catch positive emotions, you throwing her into checking yourself, which is slowing you down how you talk and throwing negative arrows to amygdala. Any ideas, Doctor? If I don't check on myself how I talk seems to be the only way, which is actually running away from facing fear, vicious circle.

Best video about how the anygdala works. Thank you!

[SaraFJones]

I shared your video in my anger management group on Facebook.

So many people have issues with no clue on how to address them! It’s really unfortunate!

Thanks for sharing!

[Pablo-bocp]

Thanks so much for this excellent video, Peter .
It is without a doubt, one of the best information I have read or seen about the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Hey Peter! Thanks so much for generously sharing your research with all of us. Have you heard of Havening? Otherwise known as the Amygdala Depotentiation technique? I've had bouts of *crippling* anxiety off and on since childhood and nothing worked well but Havening has actually helped to neutralize/reprogram the trauma. It's similar to EMDR but can be done in the comfort of your own home and for free! Just thought you might be interested :)

Very nice explanation. Better than some of the leading books on the subject.

[mr.anindyabanerjee]

Very well explained Sir. Please do make a video explaining the impact of Distress Tolerance skills and Imagery techniques of DBT on amygdala programming for dealing with patients of anxiety disorders.
