Ever wondered how animals manage stress and what we can learn from them? This episode of Mental Health News Radio, hosted by Kristin Sunanta Walker, dives into anxiety management with guest Loretta Breuning, author of "Tame Your Anxiety". Loretta shares her unique perspective on anxiety, drawing parallels between human and animal brain chemistry. With a focus on the positive, she explains how understanding the brain's natural danger radar can help us manage anxiety more effectively.
Loretta uses animal behaviour to illustrate how we can better handle our emotions. For instance, just like a gazelle scans for predators before taking action, humans can benefit from taking a moment to assess situations before reacting. She also touches on the importance of keeping both the mind and body engaged in activities that bring joy, whether it's cooking, knitting, or listening to uplifting podcasts.
Loretta's approach is practical and accessible, breaking down complex brain functions into simple steps that anyone can follow. If you're looking for ways to tame your anxiety or just curious about how our brains tick, this conversation offers valuable insights with a sprinkle of humour. So, why not take a leaf out of the animal kingdom's book and learn how to manage those uncomfortable feelings?
