How to Rewire Your Anxious Brain

In this video, author and depression counselor Douglas Bloch talks about two circuits in the brain that create anxiety--the neocortex or the thinking brain that can cause us to worry; and the amygdala that creates the fear or fight-or-flight response. He then shares techniques that you can use to calm yourself when either of these anxiety responses occur.
