About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain.
Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem – at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety.
Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy's personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts – you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control.
The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies – changing not just our mindset, but our 'body-set'. Unravelling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body and the mind, this powerful book offers a profound path toward healing and growth.
'A must-read for anyone who suffers with chronic worry.' – Dr Nicole LePera
'Dr Kennedy's message has the potential to transform the way we think about mental health and the role of the body in calming the mind.' – Dr Rangan Chatterjee

Fantastic book on anxiety
I have gained so much insight from this book. I love it that it js read by the author who shares his own personal struggles with anxiety and trauma in childhood. He discusses a difficult topic with honesty, warmth and humour.
I have listened to many of Dr Russell’s podcasts but this book pulls things together so concisely. I would highly recommend it.

Mind blowing
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely enjoyed every minute of listening to this book. The fact that the author himself narrated it, made even more interesting and surprisingly funny in places. The idea behind the book (where anxiety comes from) is mind blowing. I’m a big fan of the Inner Child approach and Polyvagal theory, but this book takes them to the next level. Recommend 100% to anyone who wants to overcome anxiety or interested to know about it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The ultimate guide to dealing with anxiety
What can I say? This book was like a lightbulb going off in my head. The first book on anxiety to truly express how anxiety manifests itself and how to heal it. Thank you Russ for this gift of a book

The essence of healing
I loved it! Dr. Kennedy is incredibly compassionate, clear, and funny in his narrative, making it soothing to listen to him. I’ve learned a lot about what anxiety is and how to manage it. I immediately started incorporating his system, and I'm already seeing results. I'm considering purchasing his program to explore the concepts more deeply. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with anxiety and seeking ways to heal.
