Why You Can't Talk Yourself Out of Anxiety — And What's Actually Driving It

You know the thought is irrational. You have talked yourself through it a hundred times. And the anxiety comes back anyway — because talking to the conscious mind does not reach the subconscious belief that is actually running the fear. Mike Wood calls it the guard dog — the part of you that learned somewhere in your past that this situation was dangerous, and has been protecting you from it ever since, even when the danger is long gone. That guard dog is not your enemy. It is running an outdated program. What he shares about how subconscious beliefs are formed, why the subconscious cannot distinguish past from present, and the simple reframe process that updates the belief at the root will give you the first approach to anxiety that works at the level where anxiety actually lives. You cannot think your way out of what you felt your way into. This episode shows you how to go deeper.
