Anxiety Rx

Anxiety Rx

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.

Untangling: How You Can Transform What’s Impossibly Stuck

You know those problems in your life that never change, no matter what you try? What if they are actually where your greatest growth and transformation can be found? It turns out that being stuck is not an endpoint, it’s a clue. Wherever there is something in your life that is impossible to think, or feel, or do, you are finding the exact spot where the next steps in your life are waiting to unfold.

Untangling®, a practice that can enable what is hopelessly stuck to untangle itself, was created by two internationally recognized innovators and teachers in the field of inner awareness. They developed the Untangling method to free themselves from their long-term struggles with depression, writer’s block, food, and alcohol. Based on 30 years of teaching, practice, and exploration, Untangling shows you how to create the environment in which impasse can transform into flow.
