In this episode, Carly explores the concept of anxiety and how we can approach it in a new way. She discusses the idea that anxiety isn't something to be eliminated, but rather a natural response to uncertainty and responsibility. Carly dives into the work of psychologist Rollo May, who saw anxiety as a signal that something matters. She explains how attentional control can help us break the cycle of anxiety and reconnect with life.

This is a repeat episode from a couple of years ago, because it was absolutely brilliant.

Neuroscience Insights: Insights into the limbic system and midbrain, and their roles in emotional regulation and stress response.
Global Knowledge Dissemination: The importance of spreading knowledge about stress and self-regulation both in Canada and globally.
Homeostasis and Stress: The concept of homeostasis and how excessive stress can lead to imbalance in the body's systems.
