- What if you could shift how you feel by intentionally practicing three powerful emotions?
In this episode we'll explore how gratitude, love and feeling proud of yourself can influence your brain, nervous system, and emotional well-being.
We'll dive into the psychology and biology behind these emotions, why they matter for anxiety recovery, and how you can use them to shift your emotional state.
Shifting your energy isn't about pretending everything is perfect, in fact that doesn't help. It's about understanding the connection between your mind and body and learning how to create more moments of peace, connection, and confidence.
Let's Learn.

Set up an appointment with Dr. Lisa - This week, I'm sharing something a little more personal - My own anxiety story.
Before I became The Anxiety Dr, I knew what it was like to live with anxiety, to fear what I was feeling, to fear going crazy, and to wonder if I would ever truly feel like myself again.
In this episode, I'm taking you through my journey: how my anxiety started, what it looked like at its worst, the things I tried, what finally began to change, and how I found my way to recovery.
I'm sharing this because I want you to know that recovery is possible. Your story may look different from mine, and your path may be different too - but where you are today does not have to be where you stay.
This is my anxiety story. And more importantly, my recovery story.
