66. Rewire Your OCD Brain With Dr. Catherine Pittman

My anxiety mentor, Dr. Catherine Pittman, joins us on the show for the third time to discuss her latest book Rewire Your OCD Brain: Powerful Neuroscience-Based Skills to Break Free from Obsessive Thoughts and Fears. Catherine is a professor and teaching is one of her greatest joys, so I thought it would be fun to switch things up a bit. Rather than me asking questions, I wanted to give you a look into what it’d feel like to sit inside one of her classes. Today’s lecture focuses on how and why your brain gets stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking, uncertainty, and worry, and the tools you need to short-circuit this response and get your symptoms under control—for good. Today, we're chatting about... Who Rewire Your OCD Brain is for  What OCD is  Where anxiety comes from in the brain  Why you have symptoms when anxious  The role the cortex plays in anxiety Why the amygdala is important  Were fear memories are stored  The importance of keeping your cortex calm if you live with OCD Why you need to get off the worry channel  The benefits of worry  How you can heal OCD  ____________________________ ALL THE GOODIES FROM THIS EPISODE: Ready to calm your inner alarm? CLICK HERE to download your freebie today! ____________________________ COURAGEOUSLY.U SHOW NOTES:  https://courageouslyu.com/ocd/   COURAGEOUSLY.U FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1416219115169393   COURAGEOUSLY.U INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/courageously.u/
