In Our Nature

From the Archives: Your Brain Is (Still) Just Being a Brain

Siobhán Friel

I'm plucking a popular early episode out of the vault, dusting it off and serving it like an aged cheese. 

For those that haven't heard this one, join me-from-ages-ago to explore:

  • The normal ways a brain behaves 
  • Why a brain being a brain is not a problem to be solved 
  • How understanding this can transform our relationship to anxiety, worrying and overthinking
  • What does Anxious Alice think about a brain being a brain? Is she even listening?
  • Also, we possibly set a record for the number of times the word 'dog' is said in one podcast episode

If you experience a ton of negative thinking,  catastrophising, ruminating and unwanted comparison and judgement, then congratulations! You have a healthy human brain. Yay

Back again soon with a new episode.
