Unwinding Anxiety
A clinically proven step-by-step plan to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits.
By Judson Brewer, MD, Ph.D.
We perceive anxiety as ranging from slight discomfort to intense panic. However, it also underlies the harmful habits and addictive behaviors we rely on to cope, such as stress eating, procrastination, endless scrolling, and social media use. Additionally, anxiety resides in a part of the brain that resists logical thinking. As a result, we become trapped in cycles of anxiety that we cannot rationally escape or overcome through willpower alone.
Dr. Brewer guides us in mapping our brains to identify our triggers, mitigating them through the powerful practice of curiosity, and training our brains with mindfulness and other techniques that his research has validated. Drawing from over two decades of research and practical experience with thousands of individuals—including Olympic athletes, coaches, and leaders in various sectors—Dr. Brewer has developed a straightforward, solutions-focused program that anyone can utilize to improve their well-being, regardless of their level of anxiety.

We all understand that having boundaries is essential for maintaining work/life balance, managing toxic individuals, and fostering fulfilling relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what does “healthy boundaries” truly encompass, and how can we effectively communicate our needs, decline requests, and assert ourselves without upsetting others? Based on the latest research and proven methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), these strategies assist us in clearly expressing our needs and doing so confidently—while addressing the underlying issues related to codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.
