Is Your Anxiety Rooted in Childhood Trauma?

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the nitty-gritty of anxiety.

Let me tell you, it's not just about your thoughts. There's a bigger picture here.

I'm talking about your body's built-in alarm system that's been going off since way back when. Things like abuse, loss, and feeling abandoned can really mess with that system.

I've been there myself, both as a doctor and as a guy who's struggled with anxiety.

Traditional treatments like CBT only scratch the surface.

We need to heal the whole you – mind and body. Let's talk about how to disarm that inner alarm and finally find some peace.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
