Summary

In this episode I talk about the 3 C's and how you can start using them today.

What do I do when my Anxiety Shows up?

Curiosity, Courage & Compassion. 

Do the 3 C's

Write the 3 c's on your hand in the morning when your doing your journaling as a reminder. 

 It's essentially how I ask people to respond to anxiety when it shows up. 

CURIOSITY

 i.e. what's the message here ? Am I safe ? I wonder why it's here ? This engages your pre frontal cortex.  Anxiety is kicked off by your croc brain (amygdala) and this allows us to pattern interrupt and bring a question to the table.  

This breaks the fear cycle.

COURAGE  

Be prepared to feel the feelings and be uncomfortable until it passes.  Get to know your anxiety, embrace it. 

COMPASSION

Anxiety sufferers are amazing at beating the shit out of themselves with guilt, shame, worry and embarrassment.

Realize it's not your fault, be gentle on yourself.  And let it pass.

Quotes:

“It causes a chemical lobotomy” (8:46)

“We were clearly made to be emotional beings.” (15:35)

“It seems like you are trying to do something that’s not really possible - to fix your life with a pill" (16:37)

“When we start to rely on a pill all the time, we are forgetting that humans grow up and they become resilient.” (18:09)

“If you follow the scientific trail as opposed to the marketing trail for the drug, the failure to confirm the hypothesis happens right away.” (20:45)

“The American Psychiatric Association in concert with the drug industry basically promoted to us a false story.” (22:00)

“They did not find that people with depression had low serotonin levels before they went on anti-depressants. They found that when you go on an anti-depressant it drives your body into a sub-serotonergic state. You end up with the very thing hypothesized to cause depression in the first place." (23:51)

"I don’t know any other area of medicine where you can say ‘you have this problem’ when you don’t have it.” (26:00)

“Every day you are taking a pill that says you are not quite right. That’s a horrible internal message.” (33:58)

“By adopting the disease model, psychiatry gets to present itself as doctors of the brain.” (39:38)

“There is no good alternative to [drugs] that has replaced that narrative in mainstream medicine.” (57:34)

“People are hungry for a difference.” (1:02:33)
