Summary of John Tsilimparis & Daylle Deanna Schwartz's Retrain Your Anxious Brain - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Anxiety is a common condition that many people suffer from, but many remain in the angst closet for years before reaching out for professional help. If people from all walks of life admit to suffering from anxiety and getting help for it, the average person will accept it like they do other conditions. #2 Anxiety is a natural response that exists to protect us from danger.
It is a reaction to something that the brain perceives as dangerous or threatening. Too much anxiety can be debilitating, but it can also help you stay on track and appreciate the good you have. #3 The fight-or-flight response is an automatic inner alarm system that prepares the body to attack or defend itself. It produces a rapid heart rate, shallow and labored breathing, and a dizzy or light-headed feeling. #4 The fight-or-flight response is a mechanism that alerts the mind to a threat or danger in the area.
It immediately shifts its focus and redirects its attention to the present to check for danger. Some individuals have difficulty with their memory and concentration, and they feel helpless about what course of action to take.
