Description
From acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora comes a groundbreaking understanding of how anxiety manifests in the body and mindand what we can do to overcome it.
Anxiety affects more than forty million Americansa number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a neck-up problemthat is, one of brain chemistry and psychologythe truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body.
In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition. In her clinical work, Dr. Vora has found time and again that the symptoms of anxiety can often be traced to imbalances in the body. The emotional and physical discomfort we experiencesleeplessness, brain fog, stomach pain, jittersis a result of the bodys stress response. This physiological state can be triggered by challenging experiences as well as seemingly innocuous factors, such as diet and use of technology.
The good news is that this body-based anxiety, or, as Dr. Vora terms it, false anxiety, is easily treated. Once the bodys needs are addressed, Dr. Vora reframes any remaining symptoms not as a disorder but rather as an urgent plea from within. This true anxiety is a signal that something else is out of balancein our lives, in our relationships, in the world. True anxiety serves as our inner compass, helping us recalibrate when were feeling lost.
Practical, informative, and deeply hopeful, The Anatomy of Anxiety is the first book to fully explain the origins of anxiety and offer a detailed road map for healing and growth.
