The Toolkit for Healing Anxiety, Part 1

About this episode

<p>Today’s episode is my gift to you and anyone in your life who struggles with anxiety.</p><p>I created this exclusive series, "The Toolkit for Healing Anxiety," because of the number of questions I am receiving from listeners asking for more resources on this topic. </p><p>Part 1 is packed with tactical takeaways and features Dr. Russell Kennedy, one of the world's most respected medical experts on anxiety. </p><p>Dr. Kennedy is a medical doctor and neuroscientist who has a revolutionary and effective approach to helping his patients understand and heal anxiety.</p><p>(He's also been our most popular expert on the podcast to date.)</p><p>Dr. Kennedy teaches you the truth about where anxiety comes from and the mistake that most therapists make when treating it. </p><p>You’ll also have a front-row seat as he coaches listeners on the critical difference between "coping with anxiety" and his protocol for "healing it" once and for all.</p><p>I can’t wait for you to listen and apply the advice in this life-changing series.</p><p>And for anyone in your life who may be struggling, please share this exclusive series generously; it could provide the answers and guidance they need.</p><p>If you have follow-up questions, send them to me in the DMs or through the podcast topic link on melrobbins.com/podcast. We read them and use them to program future episodes (this toolkit is an example of that).</p><p>This episode is not meant as a replacement for therapy, but if you’ve been seeing a therapist for a while and aren’t seeing yourself improve, you may want to forward this series to them for guidance too.</p><p>Xo Mel </p><p>Didn’t get to listen to Dr. Kennedy’s first interview? <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-about-anxiety-and-how-to-heal-it-tools/id1646101002?i=1000582487785">Check that out here</a>.</p><p><strong>In this episode, you’ll learn:</strong></p><p> </p><p>·         5:00: I bet you haven’t heard this definition of anxiety before. . </p><p>·         6:15: So where exactly does anxiety come from?</p><p>·         7:30: This is a revolutionary way of thinking about how to heal anxiety.</p><p>·         8:45: If you’re waking up this way, that’s a red flag. </p><p>·         9:45: A trauma response isn’t directed outward- it’s here instead.</p><p>·         12:00: Have you tried everything to deal with your anxiety? </p><p>·         14:45: Forget what you’ve tried so far, THIS is what will actually heal you.</p><p>·         19:00: This sign of anxiety may surprise you. </p><p>·         22:00: Anxiety happens because of this and addictions “fix” it</p><p>·         24:00: I think there are these three layers to healing your anxiety.</p><p>·         27:15: What the hell does “inner child” mean and why does it matter?</p><p>·         30:00: There’s a difference between drama and trauma. </p><p>·         34:00: Dr. Kennedy tried everything, but only this healed his anxiety.</p><p>·         37:00: Okay, what’s one specific and tangible tool we can use?</p><p>·         40:30: Do this together with me now.</p><p>·         44:00: Here’s why play is so important for healing trauma.</p><p>·         47:00: Healing will take time.
