Show Notes
My anxiety mentor, Dr. Catherine Pittman, joins us on the show for the third time to discuss her latest book Rewire Your OCD Brain: Powerful Neuroscience-Based Skills to Break Free from Obsessive Thoughts and Fears.
Catherine is a professor and teaching is one of her greatest joys, so I thought it would be fun to switch things up a bit. Rather than me asking questions, I wanted to give you a look into what it'd feel like to sit inside one of her classes.
Today's lecture focuses on how and why your brain gets stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking, uncertainty, and worry, and the tools you need to short-circuit this response and get your symptoms under control—for good.
Today, we're chatting about...
- Who Rewire Your OCD Brain is for
- What OCD is
- Where anxiety comes from in the brain
- Why you have symptoms when anxious
- The role the cortex plays in anxiety
- Why the amygdala is important
- Were fear memories are stored
- The importance of keeping your cortex calm if you live with OCD
- Why you need to get off the worry channel
- The benefits of worry
- How you can heal OCD
