Anxiety Rx

Anxiety Rx

Russell Kennedy

I am an anxious doctor. Or at least I WAS an anxious doctor. After literally decades of suffering from intractable anxiety, and seeing over 50 different types of healers I found my way to heal my anxiety through very unconventional (for a medical doctor at least) means. In 2013 I was so anxious I considered suicide and a friend suggested I try LSD, and although that scared the crap out of me it showed me the path to healing. You don't have to do LSD to heal, I took it for you! I'm a medical doctor, neuroscientist and intuitive. (I know, common combination!) I found my way out and it is counterintuitive and very non conventional (but not scary!). I will show you the way out too, you just have to listen to me, dammit!

I ramble quite a bit in this one, probably because I was triggered going into the most painful parts of my life.

It shares my experience with chronic anxiety and alarm and I hope that my healing journey provides insights you can use for your healing journey.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Helen Sairany, a war survivor from Iraq. We dive deep into the world of trauma and how it can shape our lives.

Helen shares her incredibly brave story of surviving war as a Kurdish child. Together, we talk about the psychological effects of trauma, the importance of feeling safe, and why we need a world that understands and supports people who've been through tough times.

It's a powerful conversation about community, connection, and learning to be kind to ourselves.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.

I have had some people question how bad my anxiety was if I could do stand up comedy and work as a physician.

In this episode, my daughter Leandra joins me to share her firsthand account of what I was like back then. Together, we reveal the strategies that have helped us both conquer our anxiety.

This isn't just another podcast, it's a candid and heartwarming father-daughter bonding episode!

You don't have anxiety, you have alarm.

That alarm is in your body and you need to feel it to heal it. But first you need to find it!

This episode is about seeing the true source and root cause of what you call "anxiety" i.e the alarm that is stored in your body.

Once you find your alarm you are well on your way to healing from chronic worry.

Thank you for being here!

When we are "anxious" our automatic urge is to figure a way out of the feeling. But what if the problem with anxiety is too much thinking to start with?

You can't fix over thinking with more thinking, right? You must learn how to FEEL your way out.

Anxiety Rx - Failing To See The Cues Of Safety
play

12/08/21 • 15 min

Many of us worriers have a "sunscreen" view of the world in that we block out 99% of the safety that is all around us.

If you can't see and commit to the world as a safe place, of course we are going to stay in ALARM.

If we believe the focus on threat keeps us safe, we will experience the exact opposite!

Welcome back to another episode!
In my most vulnerable moments, battling with the crippling grip of anxiety, the thought haunted me: "Is this it? Is this life?". It was a cycle of fear that I lived in, punctuated only by fleeting moments of happiness.
Traditional therapies, while helpful, often fell short. They didn't heal; they offered temporary relief.
Join me this week where I reveal the transformative essence of MBRX—Your Mind Body Prescription for Permanent Anxiety Healing.
MBRX is my labor of love, crafted to challenge the traditional narrative.
This isn't just another program; it's a revolutionary approach born from a place of true understanding and a desire to heal, not just cope.
This episode is a heartfelt invitation to a community seeking a deep, lasting change.
I've set aside the conventional for a method that truly works, reflected in countless testimonials and my own life. MBRX is about reconnection—with the child within, with our bodies, our minds and with a life of calm and presence.
Tune in as I delve into the power of MBRX while answering some of your questions about the program!
If you've ever felt victimized by your own mind, if you've ever been told you have to live with anxiety as a life sentence, this conversation is for you.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.

Anxiety Rx - Do you allow yourself to RECEIVE?
play

09/01/21 • 10 min

Do you allow yourself to receive? Or are you doing most of the people pleasing/giving to others?

When we see the world as a place that does not nourish us enough, as was often our childhood circumstance, we learn not to expect the world to help us, and actually CREATE a world that stops feeding us.

We often BLOCK and RESIST any help the world does give us, and then blame the world for not filling our needs... INABILITY TO RECEIVE is a chapter in my book "Anxiety Rx", and if we don't see how we block good things coming to us, we will sabotage our own perception of the world, seeing it as a place where we don't get enough.

But often we do get "enough", but just resist receiving it!

Find me on IG: @theanxietymd & let me know how this episode lands for you!

Anxiety Rx - You Don’t Have To THINK Everything You FEEL
play

04/21/24 • 14 min

Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here. This episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast hits a little closer to home than usual. My mom's health is declining, and on top of that, I've been editing my book. Let's just say my brain is fried.

Because of this personal situation, you might notice some bumps in the podcast this week. I apologize in advance, and I truly appreciate your understanding.

That being said, the show must go on! And today's topic is something we can all relate to: emotions. You know, those things we sometimes spend way too much time overthinking?

Here's the thing: what if the key to feeling better wasn't about overanalyzing every single feeling, but actually allowing ourselves to feel them?

There's a power in simply experiencing emotions authentically, without dissecting them to pieces.

This episode is for anyone who's tired of being a prisoner of their own thoughts. We'll explore the science behind emotions, but also the real human experience of feeling them.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
