Product Information

Also, I couldn't get past his endless reference to LSD (and other mind altering drugs) as the key to his personal anxiety cure. I would not recommend this book to anyone, because combining existing knowledge and claim it as your own just seems fraudulent and wronng to me.

BUT, luckily I didn’t quit 1) because I never let myself quit on a book holding out hope that it gets better and 2) because the best part of this book comes in the last 36 chapters.his science is rooted in outdated Freudian Id, Ego, Superego and he pulls a few quotes from Carl Jung. Using a combination of neuroscience, somatic work and psychedelics, I’ve uncovered a brand new way of approaching and healing anxiety in myself and my patients. I wrote this book to make my father's suicide and the suffering of my family mean something: to help others who experienced chronic worry to understand and fix the pain that is sucking the life out of them.

Instead, I found I had more strength, knowledge, confidence and faith in myself to walk a path of growth to healing, and to have so much compassion and love for others and, most importantly, myself. It came as no surprise that my first marriage landed me in a domestic violence refuge and my second marriage was emotional unavailable. This book is different from other self help in many ways as the author is a doctor who has the condition and treats it in others. It’s going to take me endless times to reread highlights or certain chapters to help get out of the “alarm grooves. It presses on the idea that everything is perception and we can alter our perceptions through faith and gratitude.He is married to Somatic Trauma Therapist Cynthia Solylo-Kennedy and is father to two step-sons, one daughter, two grandkids, and two Labradoodles. If you are fortunate enough not to have anxiety, you will gain a better insight and appreciation for those who live with it daily. I would recommend listening to this book if you are experiencing feelings of anxiety because it does work if you work it. If you’re ready for a brand new prescription that will guide you to heal your anxiety, not just cope with it, this is the book for you. This can be achieved through holotropic breathwork or other breathing techniques in conjunction with somatic therapies and if necessary, psychotherapy.

One of the most beautiful parts of this masterpiece is the way Doctor Russell Kennedy let's us into his personal life, so absolutely moving, his candour is appreciated and his tenacity is truly inspirational, not to mention I laughed so much throughout the read too, pure comedy gold! I've read so many amazing books on trauma recovery / anxiety and depression and ADHD/autism spectrum.

For Russell, healing starts by finding out where anxiety lives inside your body and during our conversation, Russell walks you through how exactly you can start doing that. I am so thankful for this book, i dread to think of where I would be now without it as things were only getting worse. When alarm strikes, ask yourself three questions: am I safe right NOW, what am I thankful for, where in my body am I safe? I was still being triggered daily but without the regression and need to remove myself from the situation.
