#951 - Dr Russell Kennedy - How To Fix Your Brain’s Addiction To Anxiety & Worry

So if you can journal, if you can say it out loud, and you can think it, you're kind of spreading out the trouble into different areas. And a lot of what happens is that these disparate parts of our brains... start running the show. So the more links you can get between these two, all these things, the more sort of a buffer that you have. So journaling, I think is great. I think speaking is great.

When you get these things out, I think you had a guest on there too saying, I think it was Paul Conti. Like when you get it out, it's, it's out. But if you can get it out and you can write it out and you can think it out, you're sort of hedging your bets and getting the most sort of objectivity on the thing that's really troubling you as opposed to just trying to go at it with speaking.

I would go to traumahealing.org and look at somatic therapy specifically. I use a version of somatic therapy and some internal family systems work. I'd like to work a little more with psychedelics, but it's not legal yet, so that's an issue. But this sort of talk therapy thing, you're not broken. You basically just don't have the right therapy. And

The environment, the society is telling you that, oh, go to therapy, go to therapy, it's going to help you. Well, talk therapy probably isn't going to help you that much. It'll help you cope, but it's not going to help you heal. So it's finding something that gets into that somatic route. If you're a man, see if you can find a men's club. There's all sorts of men's retreats that go out.

And men don't have the verbal acuity to talk about emotions the way that women do. So they feel like they're playing basketball without arms. And I've heard that there too.

I want to get my work out to as many people as possible because I think this alarm anxiety cycle is at the root of 90% of anxiety out there.
