Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of worry. That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain. As you read, youll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally rewire the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

From fears to phobias and panic, this how-to guide unravels the mysteries of worry, then delivers strategies that will lead you to a resilient life.
Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Dont Panic
Fear, worry, anxiety, panic, and depression block individuals from living fully. This book does an excellent job of unraveling the mysteries of the brain and how it causes anxiety, thus allowing individuals to take control of their symptoms and manage their lives more effectively. I have used the concepts in this book in treating veterans with PTSD and have seen people become much more functional. Highly-recommended reading.
Susan Myers, RN, LCSW, BCD, holistic nurse and board certified diplomate in clinical social work
This is a unique contribution to a wide array of self-help books for those who suffer with anxiety. The authors explain what we know about the workings of the brain in a fluid style that neither talks down to nor overwhelms the reader. This science becomes the foundation for decreasing bewilderment, fear, and shame. There are straightforward and logical recommendations for modifying patterns of anxiety that originate from, and are maintained by, differing brain circuitry.
Sally Winston PsyD, codirector of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute of Maryland
Catherine Pittman, a trained behavioral scientist, brings her deep scientific understanding of fear, anxiety, and learning to the world of personal experiences. Few scientists can make this transition from scientific communication to public communication. Pittman, along with coauthor Elizabeth Karle, does this very well indeed. Readers should not be put off by the early presentations of brain mechanisms, because they are surprisingly readable and informative. Moreover, it is information that provides a foundation for readers who have anxiety challenges to use later as they develop effective coping strategies. Readers should find the clear expositions of the wheres, whys, and hows of anxiety and its management to be an anxiety-reducing read.
J. Bruce Overmier, PhD, professor emeritus in the graduate faculties of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science at the University of Minnesota

My work on this book would not have been possible without the assistance and support of many people in my life, and I would like to thank them here.
First, of course, my coauthor and partner, Elizabeth (Lisa) Karle, who has enriched my life in countless ways and accompanied me into a variety of endeavors I could never have imagined without her. She amazes me on a daily basis with her courage in the face of her own anxiety, her patience with all that life requires of her, and her determination to hold herself to high standards.
My daughters, Arrianna and Melinda, who have tolerated months of me working on my laptop, not to mention years of discussion of the amygdala and cortex. I hope they know how much I love them despite many evenings of researching and writing.
My clients over the past thirty years, who have taught me so much and inspired my respect and admiration as theyve retrained their brains, shaping their lives to follow their dreams. They havent let their struggles with anxiety or brain injury keep them from becoming who they were meant to be.
William (Bill) Youngs, neuropsychologist and dear friend, who has provided a wealth of knowledge and encouragement during our weekly lunches over the past twenty-five years, and who made many valued observations and suggestions during the creation of this book.
Cathy Baumgartner, administrative assistant and friend, whos made the Psychology Department run smoothly while Ive served as chair and who made it possible for me to spend precious hours in the library during recent months. I feel so fortunate to have her competence and sense of fun in my life.
Samantha Marley, a psychology major at Saint Marys and student assistant in the Psychology Department, who helped not only by scoring exams but also by working on the many references for this book. After her senior thesis, Sam produces perfectly formatted references in no time!

Having a mental illness of any kind is a challenge. Not only can it affect daily living, but it can also alter the trajectory of ones life plans. Often it doesnt stop there, as the ups and downs of anxiety and other disorders impact family, friends, and coworkers as well. We hope this book will provide insights and information that will help our readers and their support systems weather these challenges. We are grateful to the professionals at New Harbinger Publications for giving us the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience with you.
On a personal note, Id like to thank the members of my own support system for always being there: my parents and siblings, whose love knows no bounds; Carol, who amazes me; Brother Sage, for his daily wit and wisdom; Janet and my colleagues at Saint Marys College, for their patience and assistance; Tonilynn, who understands better than anyone else; Bill, the brain master; my ggf Guiseppe Carpani, for being in the right place at the right time; and, of course, Catherine, with whom Ive shared both meaningful dreams and madcap adventures.
