Topics
Dr. Russell Kennedy: 治疗失眠焦虑症应采取双管齐下的方法:睡前两小时停止工作,睡前一小时避免使用电子设备,并关注童年时期睡眠习惯的影响。许多慢性焦虑症源于未解决的恐惧和创伤,仅仅依靠避免蓝光、电脑等方法无法根治。大多数北美的心理治疗方法忽略了身体在储存旧创伤中的重要作用,仅仅通过谈论问题和洞察力无法解决问题。应对夜间焦虑醒来,应关注当下感受,并反复自问“此刻我安全吗?”,将这种安全感与身体感受联系起来,从而建立新的神经通路。处于警报状态(焦虑)时,社交参与系统会关闭,导致难以与他人建立联系,影响人际关系。童年时期经历父母情绪不稳定,会使孩子的神经系统保持高度戒备状态,难以放松和入睡。冷水浴可以帮助克服不适感,增强应对焦虑的能力。治疗焦虑症并非消除警报,而是学会适应警报,避免陷入寻求解决方案的思维循环中。缓慢深长的呼吸可以快速将身体状态调整到副交感神经系统主导状态。改变身体状态可以改变思维方式。创伤储存在身体中,因此需要通过身体感受来治疗创伤,仅仅改变思维方式效果有限。大脑会自动赋予身体感受意义,焦虑时大脑会倾向于给出负面解释。解决焦虑问题需要关注身体感受,而非仅仅停留在思维层面。 Mel Robbins: 治疗焦虑症需要关注身体感受,而非仅仅谈论感受。治疗焦虑症需要关注身体感受,并学习容忍不适感、自我安慰和自我同情。

Shownotes Transcript

Today’s episode is a continuation of our exclusive two-part series with world-renowned medical expert Dr. Russell Kennedy.

Is anxiety impacting your ability to sleep?

Tired of the negative loop of thoughts in your mind?

Is anxiety affecting your kids?

Is it genetic?

Are there surprising signs of adult anxiety?

Did your parents struggle with it, and you never knew?

How do you break generational cycles?

Dr. Kennedy answers these questions and so many more. You’ll also learn what most therapists get "wrong" about anxiety.

You'll find Dr. Kennedy’s approach both revolutionary and effective. As a medical doctor and neuroscientist, he will coach you on the critical difference between "coping” with anxiety and his protocol for "healing" it once and for all.
