The amygdala is like a little center of the brain. It creates powerful, locked-in emotional memories, and the goal of the amygdala is to keep us safe and to relate this safety to the context of our lives.
Ever wondered why anxiety can feel so overwhelming? Dr. Talia Marcheggiani, ND, breaks it down in this episode of 'The Good Mood Podcast'. Drawing from the book 'Rewire Your Anxious Brain' by Dr. Catherine M. Pittman, she explores the two main types of anxiety: amygdala-based (body-based) and cortex-based (worry-based). Curious about which type affects you more? You'll learn how to identify the unique features of each and understand what’s happening in your brain during anxious moments. Dr.
Marcheggiani doesn't just stop at theory. She offers actionable tips to help you manage and reduce anxiety. From nutritional advice to behavioral changes, she covers a range of interventions designed to rewire your brain for better mental health. Ever tried progressive muscle relaxation or exposure therapy? These are just a couple of the methods she discusses for calming the amygdala. And if you’re prone to overthinking, you'll appreciate her insights on cognitive diffusion, which helps separate thoughts from reality.
The episode is packed with practical advice but also emphasizes the importance of patience and self-compassion. Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety isn't something you have to tackle alone; Dr. Marcheggiani encourages reaching out to professionals for additional support. Whether you're dealing with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable tools and a hopeful outlook.
So, if you're looking for ways to understand and manage anxiety better, tune in and take the first step toward rewiring your brain for a calmer, more balanced life.
