Dr. Curt Thompson: Overcoming Anxiety Through Connection #overcomeanxiety

What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know enough, but that you’re trying to change alone? In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Andrew sits down with psychiatrist and author Dr. Curt Thompson to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, and emotional healing. Together, they unpack why anxiety is often rooted in the feeling of being alone in our suffering and how real transformation happens through connection, not just information. Drawing from interpersonal neurobiology, Curt explains how relationships shape the brain and why healing from trauma, shame, and painful memories requires safe, consistent community. #AndrewOsenga #nashville #ThePivotPodcast #DrCurtThompson #NeuroscienceAndFaith #EmotionalHealing #AnxietyRecovery #InterpersonalNeurobiology #ShameAndGrace #MentalHealth #SpiritualFormation #overcomeanxiety Resources & Mentions: – Guest’s links: https://curtthompsonmd.com/ – How to Remember by Andrew Osenga: https://bit.ly/3IPPEBY – Hold the Light by Andrew Osenga: https://bit.ly/4lf4dwm About Andrew Osenga: Andrew has been an active part of the Christian music community for many years as an artist, producer, songwriter and record executive.
