In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle show how the amygdala and cortex (both key parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of “worry.” That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen.

In this bold and eye-opening book, physician and molecular geneticist Dr. Michael Nehls reveals that lithium, long dismissed as a psychiatric drug, is an essential trace element—vital for brain health, emotional stability, and social cohesion.

Ogni essere umano ha un cervello, ma non tutti i cervelli sono uguali. Eppure, poche persone hanno un'idea realistica dell'infinita variabilità della neuropsicologia umana, e di quanto questa variabilità, se non considerata adeguatamente, possa favorire incomprensioni, sofferenze, marginalizzazioni. Le scienze biomediche, cognitive e psicologiche, le scienze umane e sociali hanno elaborato approcci diversi per descrivere e trattare questa diversità.

In seinen Vorlesungen entwickelt Freud schrittweise ein umfassendes Modell der menschlichen Psyche: Symptome, Widerstand, Libido, Angst, Narzissmus und die Wege zur Heilung – prägnant, systematisch und mit überraschender Klarheit.

There’s a voice in your head that never stops talking. It criticizes, compares, and replays regrets. It warns of disasters that may never come. It tells you stories that keep you anxious, self-doubting, and stuck. But here’s the truth: you are not that voice. You are the one who hears it. You don’t need another set of tactics to “control” your mind. You need a new way of seeing. Clear, direct, and profoundly practical, You Are Not Your Thoughts is not about silencing your mind or forcing positivity. It’s about uncovering the freedom that has always been within you.

Don’t Believe Your Thoughts isn’t another “think positive” manual. It’s a field guide for seeing through mental illusions and taking charge of your inner world. Your thoughts aren’t the enemy—they’re signals. Once you learn to decode them, you’ll stop reacting and start responding. You’ll think more clearly, move more confidently, and finally experience the peace that comes from being on your own side. Stop living in your head and start living your life. Take back the calm that was always yours.

You've tried positive thinking. You've white-knuckled your way through panic attacks. You've told yourself to "just relax" a thousand times.

Polyvagal Theory for Stress, Anxiety, and Trauma reveals the hidden language of your nervous system and gives you the roadmap to genuine, lasting regulation. Richard Banks translates cutting-edge neuroscience into simple, practical tools that work with your body, not against it.
