The Anxiety Cure (2): Your brain is not defective or damaged

To recover from anxiety states, we first must believe that recovery IS possible. However, a huge hurdle for many is shifting the false belief that their mind or brain is permanently defective or wired wrong.
In video 2 of my anxiety recovery series, I provide reassurance and hope for anyone who thinks recovery is not possible by explaining that our brain is constantly changing (through neuroplasticity) and how, over time, we can rewire our brain which will move us into calmer and non-fear-based thinking.

Your video's are a great help in understanding how anxiety takes over and affects our mind and body. Thank you! I will be watching all your video's.

Absolutely, I have always felt I was wired differently for over 45 years (I’m 60 now and have allowed myself to keep running from the outer body feeling). I had that happen at age 11-12(1975-6). That’s far too long to continue climbing this mountain.

Very good video Sam. Dr Weekes was my way in to discovering why I felt the way I did. A friend lent me 'Self Help For Your Nerves' many years ago. Am I right in thinking that it's the fear of the anxious thoughts and the unpleasant physical feelings we experience with anxiety that helps to perpetuate the anxiety itself?

I would love to hear your take on Dr. Weekes' step on let time pass. It is the one that I find hardest to accept. I keep thinking that "This shouldn't be taking so long. There must be something wrong with me. Is this many setbacks normal?" Thanks for all your work.

21 yrs in this maze... hard to believe recovery has something possible

Gday Sam, just found your channel (referred from David Johnson's Freedom From Fear discussion forum) and I've watched a couple of great videos where the topic caught my eye. Just wondering whether you recommend starting from video one and watching them in order. Thanks a lot.

I understand that there is nothing wrong with my brain, but my doctors are trying to find an underlying physical cause of my persistent anxiety. I do have autoimmune issues, so my concern is that there could be something chronically wrong with me that will prevent healing. Do you think that there are some conditions that cause anxiety, and that they can keep this method from working?
