I am an anxious doctor. Or at least I WAS an anxious doctor. After literally decades of suffering from intractable anxiety, and seeing over 50 different types of healers I found my way to heal my anxiety through very unconventional (for a medical doctor at least) means. In 2013 I was so anxious I considered suicide and a friend suggested I try LSD, and although that scared the crap out of me it showed me the path to healing. You don't have to do LSD to heal, I took it for you! I'm a medical doctor, neuroscientist and intuitive. (I know, common combination!) I found my way out and it is counterintuitive and very non conventional (but not scary!). I will show you the way out too, you just have to listen to me, dammit!

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the complex world of anxiety and addiction. Believe it or not, these two are often best friends.
I’ll break down how anxiety can lead to addiction as a way to cope with those deep-seated fears and emotional wounds we all carry.
We’ll explore the differences between how men and women experience addiction, and the ways substances change our brains. And let’s not forget about the role of shame in all this.
But don’t worry, this isn’t just a doom and gloom session. I’ll share my perspective on how therapy and self-awareness can be powerful tools to break free from the cycle of addiction.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
