"It's your fear of the anxiety that causes the anxiety. When you are afraid of anxiety, it stays in your life. (That's a hard one because it's so awful, of course, you're afraid of it.) I will teach you how not to be afraid of it so that you can get rid of it." - Dr. Jodi Aman.Resources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

Mental health problems are skyrocketing, especially among teenagers, and this series will change the tide. Welcome to the beginning of our journey together. We're discussing the introduction section of the book Anxiety...I'm So Done With You. So grab your notebook and pen or your book to write in the margins. In this episode, you'll hear about the benefits you'll get from reading this book. You'll know who I am and what I'm all about, including my anxiety story. I'll share the five steps to curing anxiety that not only saved me but helped thousands of my clients get rid of it too. I'll give you an earful of why you deserve help and tell you how to ask for it. And then we're going to go over the real reasons you still have anxiety, and you'll finally learn my formula for happiness. Let's get started. Here is what you're going to get from this book. You're going to get practical skills for your brain, body, and spirit that will help you have the life you want to be comfortable in your body, understand the world, and find a fulfilling life purpose. You will feel trust and connection to good people. You will sleep better and wake up hopeful and confident in the morning. I know those sound like lofty goals, but they are doable because, despite what you think or what you've heard, anxiety is highly treatable. Even if you've had it forever, you can still get rid of it. This is what I've come to understand in my 25 years of practice. There are two kinds of people with anxiety. The first person gets anxious and is like: "I am not living like this. I don't like this at all. I'm going to figure out what I have to do, and I'm going to get rid of this. I am not doing it." And the second person's like: "I guess I am just wired this way. This sucks. This is me. I'm different than other people! Why can't I figure this out? I just have to learn to live with it." What am I going to say about these two people? Person one who decides that they're going to get rid of it and they're not going to keep it; they do what they have to do and they get rid of it and better. Person two, who thinks that this is how they're just going to have to live, they keep it. What's the difference? The difference is believing that you can change. It changes the whole game. It makes me think of my favorite quotation from Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." Let me say it again. Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Next, let me tell you a little bit about my personal and social identifiers. Because ...

    2023/01/21
    This episode is the companion to Chapter 1, Section 1: The Hyper Monkey Mind. In it, you'll learn:The huge capacity of the human mindWhat the Monkey Mind isWhy the Monkey Mind intensifies, magnifies, and worsens your problemsHow to change your negative thinkingHow to stop overthinking by changing your neural pathwaysWhy laughter is the best medicineIf your Monkey Mind is wreaking havoc on your life, this episode is for you!Anxiety is not you AND you can get rid of it. You may have learned skills to calm yourself, but the anxiety keeps coming back. In this episode, I will help you take down anxiety's power, so it stops doing that. How does the monkey mind fit into it? The human mind is a marvelous, enormous thing that is designed to do a lot more than we're doing with it now. I'll show you what to do so that the Monkey Mind (anxiety and negative thoughts) doesn't default to taking over that space. By breaking it down and showing you how anxiety works on you, I hand you the power to take it down. You will also learn how to reframe negative thoughts, why fiction is a helpful, creative outlet, and why laughter is the best medicine."Our mind evolved for millions of years to problem solve, to adapt, to survive. Your mind wants to make sure it doesn't miss anything that it needs to do to protect you. But there are fewer things for it to do. So it's looking for things to do, things to worry about, things to judge, things to assess. And when it makes them up, it makes them sound really real." - Dr. Jodi AmanResources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

    1:2 Constant Digital Chatter - How your cell phone disempowers you
    2023/01/21
    This episode follows Chapter 1, Section 2: The Constant Digital Chatter. What you'll learn in this episode is How your phone might be making you anxiousThe effects of “comparison culture.”The anxiety-provoking secondary traumaThe impact of commercialism on your mental healthI am continuing to de-mystify anxiety in this episode, and to call it out, we have to look at all the contexts that contribute to you feeling powerless. This means we cannot leave out the increased use of cell phones in the last two decades.Don’t worry; I am not saying phones are evil. But the constant 24/7 bombardment of all those messages can do more than entertain and educate. In this episode, I show you how the messages coming at you, make you feel powerless, worthless, and out of control. You are not powerless, worthless, and out of control, but it feels like you are. In this episode, I detail three categories of disempowering messages: 1. You are not enough, 2. The world is a dangerous place, and 3. You deserve cool stuff “just because.” After diving into how those messages impact you, I offer a simple challenge: disconnect once in a while. You will be happy that you did!“In comparison culture, you are comparing someone else's outward, public, filtered appearance with your inside mess. You cannot win in this scenario. You will always find yourself not good enough.” - Dr. Jodi AmanResources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

    2023/01/21

You’ll learn:What anxiety is and what it isn'tHow you should think about itHow do you know if you have an irrational fear or rational fearWhy anxiety seems to come out of the blueHow to stop anxiety in its tracksI continue to demystify anxiety by explaining its biological roots so you understand how it behaves. This will help you so much.Anxiety is the leftover fear response when you’re not in physical danger. It’s caused by adrenaline. The biology of anxiety, triggered by the amygdala and adrenaline, can be mapped, and the signals it sends to your brain can be explained. I get right to the heart of how it all works so you can learn what to do about it.I go over rational and irrational fear, the mammalian brain versus the reptilian brain, and offer two things to do to calm your fear, anxiety, worries, and or panick, in the moment. “Anxiety wants us to be upset about some possibility of something remote happening in the future. It has you suffering now as if that would protect you somehow from that future suffering.” - Dr. Jodi AmanResources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

    1:5 The Heartbreak Triggers - Trauma and Anxiety
    2023/01/21
    This episode follows Chapter 1, Section 5: The Heartbreaking Triggers. In this episode, We're talking about how trauma triggers your amygdala and how to un-trigger it.You'll get the script of what to say to your anxiety.We'll practice the script together so you can feel what it's like, to not be scared of it.We'll do a little review on how and why anxiety goes away.I explain where anxiety triggers come from and how you can un-trigger them. Intensely threatening events, called traumas, overwhelm your senses. They spike your adrenaline. They set off your fight or flight response, and they cause you to trigger that response easier the next time. When you identify triggers you no longer need, you can decide to un-trigger them. I’m here to help you do that.I will give you a script of what to say to your anxiety that acknowledges it, doesn’t fear it, and reclaims your control over your emotions. Then you just repeat this script to override your reptilian brain. This is about you regaining control over your anxiety. “When you're deciding to consciously do this as an exercise, you'll expect that trigger coming and it won't blindside you.

In this episode, We're talking about how trauma triggers your amygdala and how to un-trigger it.You'll get the script of what to say to your anxiety.We'll practice the script together so you can feel what it's like, to not be scared of it.We'll do a little review on how and why anxiety goes away. Y Are you ready? Let's go! Intensely threatening events are called traumas. When you experience a trauma, your senses are overwhelmed by feeling like you are in mortal danger. Your adrenaline increases, and besides all the fight-and-flight responses, your brain starts to lay down emotional memory in the amygdala. It also turns off the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of your brain that controls motivation and emotions and learning, and contextual memory. Contextual memory means the story of the memory. This means when you've experienced trauma, emotional memory is laid down in the amygdala, but it's not storied or integrated, or processed. That emotional memory is raw, and when it's triggered, that is why it feels like it's happening right now, as if you're living it again. Even if you're safe, you feel like you're not safe. Anything can trigger this emotional memory, a sound, a clink of a glass, somebody yelling, tomatoes, driving in a car. In addition, a panic attack is also itself a trauma. It may not compare to big T trauma, but it affects you because when you have a really intense panic attack, your adrenaline causes your amygdala to lay down the emotional memory. If you remotely feel anything like a panic attack again, even if ...

    1:6 Your Basic Three Fears and What is Underneath Them
    2023/01/21
    This episode goes with Chapter 1, Section 6 of Anxiety...I’m So Done with You! In it, I talk about how our problems are grounded in three basic fears. You’ll learn:What those three basic fears areHow they are related to each otherHow fears affect your mental healthWhy humans desperately want to belongThe three basic fears are beneath all concerns and anxieties we have. I show you how they appear and why, so you can understand why we’re dealing with such anxiety.The ultimate basic fear is that you’re not loved or not worthy. That fear makes you afraid of rejection and failure. It’s what drives the comparison culture we all find ourselves in. We’re always trying to be the best, to be smart enough or rich enough, to be cool enough. But enough is undefinable, and so, unreachable.Understanding how to unpack things that upset you is something I walk you through in this episode. Once you understand the root cause of your upsetness, you’ll understand how the Western standards of perfection are plaguing us. “It is essential to understand that you don’t have to do anything alone, and you can take care of yourself at the same time. It is not selfish to take care of yourself. In fact, taking care of yourself is taking care of your family and your community. You are not separate from them. Whatever you do for somebody else, you do for yourself, and whatever you do for yourself, you do for somebody else.” - Dr. Jodi AmanResources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

TranscriptHey, you're here with Dr. Jodi, and this is "Anxiety… I'm So Done With You!" I am so excited about this podcast. It accompanies my book by the same name, "Anxiety… I'm So Done With You!" It's a teen's guide to ditching toxic stress and hardwiring your brain for happiness because that is what we're going to do in the series: We're ditching that freaking toxic stress and hardwiring your brain to generate happiness every day. This is what you do: You read or listen to a section of the book. Then come on over here and listen to an episode where we're going to go a little bit deeper, give more examples, and tell more stories. I want to provide you with everything you need to be sure that you find your way out of this horrible anxiety cycle so that you no longer have to suffer. Please leave me a five-star review on Apple podcasts. That'll help me get in the ears of more people who need this series. Mental health problems are skyrocketing, especially among teenagers, and this series will change the tide. Welcome to this episode. We're talking about Chapter 1, Section 6: The Basic Fears. As you've read in this section, there are three basic fears. They are the fear of being trapped, rejection, and failure. These are fears that are underneath all of our problems. That might sound weird. Or, it might have surprised you. Hopefully, I explained in this section how these three basic fears are related. The way they're related is that underneath each of them is the ultimate basic fear: fear that you're not worthy or unloved. This is really important for us as humans because we are social beings. Humans want to belong. If we get any sense that we are unworthy of that belonging, it is ...
