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!

Orienting To Pleasure For Growth
Sunday Apr 23, 2023
Sunday Apr 23, 2023
When we have trauma as children our nervous system often learns that life is about avoiding pain as opposed to attending to pleasure.
In other words, we adopt an unconscious strategy of chronically seeking survival instead of enjoying our growth.
As we grow up, automatically, unconsciously and reflexively attuning to potential threats became a "default setting" in our mind and body that keeps us trapped in anxiety and alarm.
We must first be aware of this unconscious default setting to pain and begin to make the CONSCIOUS INTENTION to attend and attune to pleasure instead.
In this change in conscious intention towards growth and pleasure, we begin to overwrite the unconscious setting of protection.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
P.S I wrote THE book on healing anxiety. It's my life's work so that you don't have to suffer like I did.
