Miscellaneous


When Dr. Judson Brewer started his career, his approach to treat anxiety reflected what he had learned in medical school: diagnose and medicate, but what he found very early on was that medication was not enough. Actually, for most of his patients, it didn’t help at all, so he tried a new path, and, as most curious, restless minds do, Dr. Judson questioned everything he knew. Today, Dr. Jud, as he is worldly known, approaches anxiety as a habit, something that can be learned, as consequently, unlearned. How? That’s what he shares with us in this interview. I invited him to be a guest on my podcast after I finished his insightful book “Unwinding anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind.” What I love about the way he presents anxiety is the fact that he introduces this topic in a fresh, bold perspective, which will certainly challenge the way you look at it. Not only that, but most importantly, his vision empowers us to reclaim our power to change.  In this interview, Dr. Jud offers us effective tools to combat not just anxiety but unhealthy habits, including addictions, that sometimes take over our lives. Quote: “What we resist, persists, and what we feel, heals.” To learn more about Dr. Judson Brewer, visit: www.drjud.com Watch this interview on my YouTube channel "Understand Suicide:”   https://bit.ly/2QMS0H4 Donate to the podcast: https://bit.ly/3maL9RO    Visit my page www.understandsuicide.com   Find my book "Understanding suicide: living with loss, paths to prevention:”  https://amzn.to/2ANczuR  Exchange experiences on my Facebook page: https://bit.ly/3h8sIet --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/paula-fontenelle/message
