Reducing excess anxiety using evolutionary psychologyHow could Brad dial back his extreme anxiety by transforming his unconscious view of the future from one that’s lethal to one that’s just extremely unpleasant? Chris and I have a simple five-step method that starts by bringing unconscious, primitive beliefs into the cold light of modern reality, where we can critically examine and reframe them. This question traces extreme anxiety all the way back to its primitive roots, allowing Brad to understand his body’s reaction. If you suffer from intense anxiety, we hope the techniques will also help you. We may not like what lurks around the corner, but letting our primitive brains stress too much about it might do more harm to our well-being than whatever it is that awaits us.
