In this episode, I'm chatting with The Anxiety MD, Russ Kennedy. Dr. Russ and I...

• talk about his upbringing and the toll it took on Russ' nervous system to be the child of a father with severe mental illness (bipolar and schizophrenia)
• discuss what anxiety is and what it isn't
• discuss being in a victim state and how those of us with anxiety unknowingly victimize ourselves
• share what A.L.A.R.M. really is
• expand on our shared experiences with awareness and the importance of awareness in anyone's healing journey
• talk about the difference between alarm in the body and anxiety in the mind
• share about where we somatically feel anxiety in our own bodies
• talk about Complex PTSD and some of our shared experiences in our nervous systems related to "the voice in the head" and the alarm sensations in our bodies
• share about Lindsey's core wound of feeling abandoned by her mother when her mom gave her the silent treatment
