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!

The Manxiety Podcast: The Anxiety of a Trauma Bond
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Today, I am excited to share with you the first episode of The Manxiety Podcast, hosted by my colleague, Dr. Nima Rahmany.
As I will be an occasional guest on the show, I'm thrilled to kick off our dialogue with a deep dive into the complex topic of trauma bonds.
Join us as we chat about how these bonds from childhood impact our relationships.
Trauma bonds are like glitches from our past that mess up how we relate to others. It's a cycle—the cycle involves love bombing, devaluing, and discarding.
We talk about how things like oxytocin (the love hormone) and daydreams play into these bonds, making them feel addictive and hard to break.
But here's the kicker: realizing what's going on and seeing our relationships for what they really are can help us shake these patterns.
We also tackle the tough stuff—like why men often struggle to ask for help and why it's key to be proactive in breaking free from these bonds.
It's not easy to ditch the shame and masks we've been carrying, but by sharing our own stories and seeking practical advice, we can start to untangle these knots.
Thank you for listening, you can find me @theanxietymd and Dr. Nima @drnima on IG if you have any questions.

Buddha’s Legacy: Healing Anxiety Through Your Pets
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Today, I'm sharing a personal struggle – my beloved dog, Buddha, is facing health challenges, and I'm contemplating saying goodbye. The impending loss brings up past wounds, highlighting the unique bond between those with anxiety and their pets.
Pets offer a trustworthy love, a stark contrast to our struggles with self-love. As Buddha's situation unfolds, I reflect on the healing journey from anxiety, emphasizing the need to integrate our adult and child selves and connect our minds and bodies.
Grateful for the resilience I've built, I recognize handling challenges, like Buddha's aging, is now manageable. In closing, love has transformative power – for pets and ourselves. Despite hardships, we possess the strength to navigate uncertainties.
Thanks for letting me share this deeply personal part of my life with you.

The Power of Faith in Trauma Recovery
Sunday Dec 10, 2023
Sunday Dec 10, 2023
In this thought-provoking podcast episode, I dive deep into the impact of faith and trauma in our lives.
Childhood trauma often shakes our faith in the world, burdening us with a belief that everything relies on our shoulders, especially for sensitive individuals.
The central message revolves around faith as an antidote to worry and anxiety.
I discuss the tendency to lose our authentic selves while trying to protect others, even if those we protect are negative influences, while introducing the concept of "objecting without contracting," where we refrain from tightening or resisting when faced with worries.
This practice can break the cycle of anxiety and help us trust that the universe can protect us, ultimately leading to a more secure and peaceful life.

The Inner Critic: Exploring JABS in Anxiety
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Monday Nov 20, 2023
In this episode, I want to introduce you to an acronym I've created called JABS: Judgment, Abandonment, Blame, and Shame, primarily directed inward.
These emotional punches not only impact us but reverberate through our relationships and daily lives.
Anxiety often has roots in unresolved childhood trauma stored in our bodies, not just our thoughts. Self-judgment can activate a cycle of self-criticism, hindering our nervous system regulation.
Healing begins with self-awareness. Recognizing self-judgment, self-abandonment, self-blame, and self-shame patterns is the first step toward transformation. Empower yourself by establishing a compassionate connection with your inner child. You have the power to change your narrative.
I would like to note that this podcast is going to be REPETITIVE and it’s designed that way. It is repetitive because I want to get into the deeper subcortical parts of your brain where the voice of the inner critic is stored.
