Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry

This book was absolutely awesome. It truly helped me get to the bottom of my anxiety. For the first time, I felt like I really understood what anxiety is, where it comes from, and why it shows up the way it does. Examples in the book are great and everything is easy to understand.I feel less overwhelmed and I loved reading it!!

This book was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. It explained anxiety in such a clear, almost comforting way—like walking into a messy room and suddenly knowing where everything goes. The breakdown between the emotional “fear center” and the logical “overthinking part” of the brain made so much sense, and once I saw how they both play a role, I felt less stuck. The science stuff didn’t go over my head at all, and the techniques actually feel doable, not just theory. I’ve started catching myself mid-spiral and being like, “Ah, this is cortex nonsense,” and it weirdly helps. Definitely one of the most useful, brain-calming things I’ve read in a long time.Highly recommended.

The authors do a great job breaking down what happens in our brains to create anxiety. Then practical tools we can use to lesson or overcome the anxiety. Vey helpful!

Decent read..Not only for health care professionals but for regular people who may not access professional help due to personal reasons. Doctor Pittman gives you practicalself-help steps that can help alleviate or eliminate anxiety throughout the book.

This book was so informative and definitely helped me a lot in my journey! I recommend it to anyone who is struggling with anxiety and is unclear what is happening. It a very good place to start to understand our bodies better.

Somehow, understanding the neuroscience and biology behind all anxiety disorders is truly liberating. The insights in this book are real power to master your thinking and feeling, understanding mind-body connection and seeing more deeply into your consciousness and mechanisms of life. Wow is right!The first half explains these principles, while the second half covers practical techniques and exercises to apply this knowledge in trigger situations and learn to re-wire, re-remember, augment and overcome traumatic experiences that linger in the body and psyche. Memory is felt all over the body.I recommend this book to everybody I talk with about anxiety. The audio book can be listened to in about 6 hours. Money very well spent!

Rewire Your Anxious Brain by Catherine Pittman and Elizabeth Karle offers an enlightening exploration into the neuropsychology behind anxiety. If you've ever wondered why you feel anxious, panicked, or overwhelmed without understanding why, this book provides the answers through a science-backed, approachable explanation. What sets this book apart is how it explains the roles of two key brain areas: the amygdala, responsible for primal fear responses, and the cortex, which fuels worry and overthinking. By understanding how these pathways contribute to anxiety, the authors empower you to take control of your emotional responses with practical, easy-to-apply strategies. I found the examples and exercises particularly helpful in offering real-world solutions to manage anxiety. This book doesn’t just offer theory; it gives you actionable steps to rewire how your brain reacts to fear and stress, promoting long-term resilience. If you're looking for a deeper understanding of anxiety from a scientific perspective and want practical tools to help manage it, this is a must-read.

Ok but not what I expected. Too boring to listen to.
