The Toolkit for Healing Anxiety, Part 2

Today’s episode is a continuation of our exclusive two-part series with world-renowned medical expert Dr. Russell Kennedy. If you thought Part 1 of this series was life-changing, buckle up! Part 2 of this Toolkit brings you even more strategies and tools as we take questions from three more listeners of the podcast. Is anxiety impacting your ability to sleep? Tired of the negative loop of thoughts in your mind? Is anxiety affecting your kids? Is it genetic? Are there surprising signs of adult anxiety? Did your parents struggle with it, and you never knew? How do you break generational cycles? Dr. Kennedy answers these questions and so many more. You’ll also learn what most therapists get "wrong" about anxiety. You'll find Dr. Kennedy’s approach both revolutionary and effective. As a medical doctor and neuroscientist, he will coach you on the critical difference between "coping” with anxiety and his protocol for "healing" it once and for all. And for anyone in your life who may be struggling, please share this exclusive series generously; it could provide the life-changing answers and guidance they need to finally heal.
