The Hidden Psychology of AI: What It Teaches Us About Anxiety | Dr. Jud Brewer

What if AI isn't just changing how we work—but rewiring how we think, feel, and cope with anxiety? In this groundbreaking episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Dr. Jud Brewer—neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and NYT bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety—to explore the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and mental health. Dr. Brewer reveals the hidden psychology behind AI "flattery machines," why these tools can both help and harm our emotional wellbeing, and how his new Going Beyond Anxiety program uses AI augmentation to deliver evidence-based support exactly when you need it. From the neuroscience of validation to the future of therapy, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about AI, empathy, and human connection.
