Description
From physician and neuroscientist Russell Kennedy, MD comes an award-winning book that offers a revolutionary, life-changing approach to healing anxiety.
Break the cycle of anxiety with the newly upgraded and expanded second edition.
After years of trying different therapies for his debilitating anxiety without success, Dr. Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain.
Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Russ realized that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem—at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety.
Wanting to make a difference for the millions who suffer from anxiety disorder, Russ created Anxiety Rx, a book that blends his personal story with medical science, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Readers learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts—in the process they begin to heal old trauma and gain a sense of control previously unknown.
Russ offers techniques not only for our thinking minds, but for our feeling bodies, changing not just our mindset, but our “body-set.” Unraveling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body, and the mind, Anxiety Rx offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

All of us has an anxiety, some with little anxiety, some with really really big anxiety. But all of this feelings are not good in long term of our life. Russel Kennedy approach anxiety with new perspective for us to read so we can cope with anxiety better.

Anxiety and trauma! I know the two can go hand in hand but I have never fully sat down and thought about my trauma and anxiety.
This book takes a whole new approach to both and looks at them separately and then in relation to one another. I was fortunate to have a therapist recently who looked at my trauma (PTSD) and relate my reactions through that trauma from my past. This book linked it all full circle for me and gave me some tools I never even thought to consider.
I wish more doctors and therapists would start to approach anxiety and depression from this stand point and start helping patients/people to look at the start. Where did the traumas start and how can we tap into those emotions to help the emotions felt today.
Going through the past isn’t always easy but sometimes necessary. A great resource and thorough look at trauma responses and how they relate to our anxiety!
