About this listen

Feeling anxious over small things? Ever felt a sudden sizzle of adrenaline from an unread message, or a friend acting strangely? That’s your nervous system firing up before rational reasoning even gets a look in! Anxiety is often your biology being a nuisance - it’s not “all in your head.”

Become the Boss of Your Fight-or-Flight Biology with CBT

We are all beautiful, messy machines. Some of us are born hypervigilant; others are wired for threat by life experience. Either way, your anxiety is a signal your brain and body are trying to manage - and CBT helps you take control.

This short 12 minute episode introduces essential CBT skills adapted from a top-ranking workbook by Veronica Walsh:

You’ll learn how to:

  • Clearly understand anxiety as a biological wiring issue, not a personal failing
  • Regulate your nervous system with practical strategies you can use every day
  • Build reframing and resetting skills through self-talk and visualization

Take the driver’s seat of your life. Reclaim calm, confidence, and control with simple, science-backed steps that are easy to understand, remember, and apply.
