Sometimes the most frustrating part of anxiety is how unpredictable it can be. One moment everything feels fine. The next, a wave of tension rolls through the chest or a sudden tightness hits the throat – for no obvious reason.Naturally, the mind scrambles for explanations. Maybe something was missed. Maybe there’s something physically wrong. A quick search, a walk, a breathing app – anything to restore a sense of control.But when those symptoms don’t go away or keep looping back despite best efforts, it starts to raise a deeper question: What is the brain actually responding to?This episode explores that idea – not through hacks or surface-level tricks but by examining how the nervous system interprets experience. Not what’s said to it, but what’s shown through reactions.Turns out the brain has a surprisingly simple system for deciding whether things are safe or dangerous. And how it’s being signaled might be the missing piece.The approach here is subtle but powerful. Worth hearing.(This is an AI-generated episode inspired by my YouTube videos.
