Everyone experiences anxiety. But few people understand the true nature of anxiety or how it is related to the emotion-producing structures in our brains that are difficult to spell, let alone comprehend. The goal of this workbook is to help you learn more about these influential parts of your brain, especially the amygdala. Whether you have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, or any other anxiety disorder, the amygdala is involved in creating the anxiety you experience. When you are having problems with anxiety, panic, or worry, other people often don’t understand what you are going through. You may not even understand it yourself. Anxiety can be a very overwhelming and confusing experience. The good news is that, compared to many other psychological disorders, anxiety disorders are better understood by mental health professionals, and once you learn to recognize what is going on when you experience anxiety, you also know how to do something about your anxiety. This workbook will help you decipher what is happening in your brain and in your body (and why those processes are happening). With this knowledge, you will be able to cope much better with what you are experiencing. Even if other people tell you that your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts don’t make sense, this workbook will help you make sense of them, and you are the person that matters. So many of my clients have said, “So that’s why this is happening!” when they learn about how the brain creates anxiety. It can be such a relief to make sense of what is going on. But knowledge alone is not enough. You also need to know what you can do with that knowledge. You can change the structures in your brain that create anxiety, but achieving that change requires taking a new approach to how you respond to your anxiety and worry. That’s why you need this workbook—it is designed not only to help you understand your anxiety-based difficulties, but also to give you the specific tools and steps to train your brain to respond in different ways.
