Create Inner Calm and Reduce Anxiety with Self-Care Expert Dr. Nekeshia Hammond

Are you exhausted by chronic mental gymnastics, those anxiety-inducing, topsy-turvy cognitive gyrations that get in the way of what you want to be thinking and doing? Dr. Carla Manly has found that people are increasingly plagued by obsessive or negative thought patterns that foster anxiety, depression, and stress that can lead to severe burnout. The secret to creating a healthy mindset--and the positive changes that follow–can be found in the art of gently training your mind to intentionally choose thoughts and behaviors that work for you–rather than against you. Join Dr. Carla and self-care expert Dr. Nekeshia Hammond for a delightful journey into learning how to create thought patterns that reduce anxiety while also boosting inner peace and joy! Topics discussed include mindsets, awareness, holistic self-care, emotions, secure attachment, insecure attachment, anxious attachment, preoccupied attachment, burnout, burnout prevention, self-care, spirituality, support, feelings, obsessive thoughts, ruminations, breathing, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), thought replacement, thought stopping, thought leaning, neuroplasticity, neurobiology, fight or flight, sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, breathing exercises, and panic attacks. Please note that this episode contains sensitive trauma-related material; listener discretion is advised. Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
