In this conversation with anxiety expert Dr. Russell Kennedy  @theanxietymd  we explore why anxiety lives in the body—not just the mind—and why trying to think your way out of it often makes it worse.We discuss somatic therapy, CBT, childhood trauma, uncertainty, high-functioning anxiety, emotional avoidance, and practical techniques that can help you stop feeding the cycle of worry. If you've ever felt trapped in overthinking, this conversation may change how you understand anxiety forever.I also share why some of the smartest, most successful people remain deeply anxious, how uncertainty becomes addictive, and what both of us believe is one of the most important skills for lasting emotional healing.
