Brain on Fire: Why Your ANXIETY Never Sleeps

Is your brain lying to you? 🧠🚫

We all know that feeling: the heart racing, the sweaty palms, and that persistent, nagging voice telling you that everything is about to go wrong. But what if your "threat-detection system" is actually just… broken?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on anxiety disorders and expose the exhausting mental loops that keep you trapped in a cycle of fear. From the suffocating grip of panic disorder to the constant hum of generalized anxiety, we break down why your brain thinks it’s being chased by a predator when you’re actually just sitting on your couch.

In this episode, you will discover:

• Why your brain is hardwired for anticipatory worry (and how to hack it).
• The secret link between trauma, substance use, and anxiety.
• How social phobia distorts your perception of reality.
• Practical ways to stop the "what if" thought patterns before they spiral.

Whether you’re dealing with high-functioning anxiety or feeling completely overwhelmed, this breakdown will give you the tools to stop bracing for danger and start living again.
