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

sorry for the late reply. (Im not an affiliate on this link) but here is the book
https://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Anxious-Brain-Neuroscience/dp/B012ZMUNIE

did it help me? i would say yes. am i fixed from anxiety after reading the book? no.

if i were to summarize what helped me from this book is:

1. knowing what is anxiety and understanding why my brain gets anxious. Defining Cortex and Amigdula based anxiety.
   
2. techniques on tricking your amigdula (cliche as this may sound) slow breathing and relaxation techniques tends to trick the "fight or flight or freeze mode".
   
3. how to rewire your brain through thought techniques and/or exposure/flooding with positive thoughts and experiences.
   
4. (sounds cliche again) but explained in book why SLEEP and Exercise helps you overcome anxiety.
   
5. by knowing all these techniques, and understanding which kind of anxiety we have. a person can use the techniques when anxiety arises.
   
   the very first time i tried looking at my thoughts from a third person's perspective i realized that i have these pattern of thoughts that seems habitual and tends to release a certain emotion that is stressful. I never thought that this was abnormal and should be worked on asap so that i wont suffer all day looping into different anxious thoughts and feelings.
   
   i would say if you dont understand what anxiety is, buy or rent this book from your library. heck torrent it if you cant afford it and just pay the author back one day when you can afford it.
   
   so much for a summary eh. but for true TLDR:
   book explains why, how, where is anxiety and how to deal with it using some techniques.
