How to Use Anxiety as a Signal

Описание: Is your anxiety a malfunction—or a message? Learn how to read anxiety as a signal instead of fighting it so you can make smarter choices and feel more in control.

What you’ll learn: why the brain evolved this alert system; the 3 trigger types (real threat, imagined threat, growth edge); a 3-question pause to decode signals; matching responses (take action, cognitive defusion: “I’m having the thought that…”, graded exposure); and “volume-down” tools (breathing, PMR, worry window) to think clearly.
