Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you
feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In "Rewire Your Anxious
Brain," psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle
offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based
in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. In the book, you will
learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the
brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The
amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part
of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you
are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of "worry."
That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or
may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by
offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into
both of these pathways in the brain. As you read, you'll gain a
greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a
result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The
brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way
you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the
practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this
book, you will learn to literally "rewire" the brain processes that
lie at the root of your fears.
