About this listen
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 this audiobook 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.
Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. As you listen, you'll gain a greater understanding of 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.

Helpful for those with anxious minds.
Useful insights.
Helpful tools.
But the complicated physiological terms were confusing, this may be less of a problem in the written form.

It truly does provide an insight into easy to understand, no jargon neuroscience that will help to calm you down by giving you an understanding
Practical, real everyday situations where people experience anxiety. The anxiety examples are broken down in a way so you understand how and why your brain and body is responding in such a way. To give you that understanding this book provides you with very insightful information to help you work through any situation, no matter how big or small.
I love how they explain the different areas of the brain that control the different thoughts, emotions and reactions so simply
Highly recommend for anyone who wishes to improve their coping strategies or knowledge surrounding anxiety.

informative, interesting, practical, helpful
Starting by describing the mechanics of anxiety and the physical processes behind it, the book then categorised different types of anxiety and provides exercises that allow the listener to identify the type(s) of anxiety that they may suffer from. this is followed up with practical and specific advice on how to combat each type. Each chapter has a good summary. the book has a good pace. the only criticism i may have is tbat the reader is perhaps a little robotic in the delivery. nevertheless the content and structure of the book make it outstanding. would recommend

Getting down to the crux of it.
A clearly elucidated journey into the neurological basis of anxiety. I found this very useful in managing my own anxiety including – with the text’s biological basis – removing some of the stigma about the experience of anxiety. This overall approach was also very complementary to all other methods I engage in to manage anxiety such as therapy or more socially based approaches or texts

Fantastic for anxiety
Fantastic book for those suffering from anxiety. The detail about the brain and what happens during an anxiety response makes so much sense and in turn, easier to manage the symptoms. Would recommend this to anyone suffering anxiety.

Relax if you can
Useful and informative, recommended to listen to when walking, though the exercises aren't always realistic. Overall, very good.
