REWIRE YOUR ANXIOUS BRAIN: HOW TO USE THE NEUROSCIENCE OF FEAR TO END ANXIETY, PANIC, AND WORRY
Book ID/图书代码： 09700014B71799
English Summary/英文概要： Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research.
In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of “worry.” That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain.
As you read, you’ll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally “rewire” the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你是否想过当你感到焦虑，恐慌和担心时，你的大脑里发生了什么？在《重新连线你焦虑的大脑》中，心理学家凯瑟琳·皮特曼和作者伊丽莎白·卡乐一个基于前沿神经科学和研究的，独特的，以证据为基础的解决方案来克服焦虑。
在这本书中，你将学习为什么杏仁核和皮质（包括重要的大脑部位）在焦虑的神经心理学中是必不可少的成分。杏仁核的反射是原始的反应，而通常情况下，当大脑的这部分处理恐惧时，你甚至不明白你为什么害怕。相比之下，皮质是”担忧“的中心。也就是说，沉迷，反刍和滞留可能会或可能不会发生。在这本书中，皮特曼和卡乐通过提供如何通过充分利用这两种途径来管理大脑恐惧的具体例子，让它变得简单。
随着阅读的加深，你会对如何在大脑中建立焦虑获得更深入的了解，并且你会觉得精力充沛，并积极地克服它。大脑是一个强大的工具，你越努力改变应对恐惧的方式，你就会变得越有弹性。使用这本书中的实际自我评估和证明有效的技术，你将学习“重新连线”立于恐惧根源的大脑处理。 (LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：“From fears to phobias and panic, this how-to guide unravels the mysteries of worry, then delivers strategies that will lead you to a resilient life.”—Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Don’t Panic
“Fear, worry, anxiety, panic, and depression block individuals from living fully. This book does an excellent job of unraveling the mysteries of the brain and how it causes anxiety, thus allowing individuals to take control of their symptoms and manage their lives more effectively. I have used the concepts in this book in treating veterans with PTSD and have seen people become much more functional. Highly-recommended reading.”—Susan Myers, RN, LCSW, BCD, holistic nurse and board certified diplomate in clinical social work
"This is a unique contribution to a wide array of self-help books for those who suffer with anxiety. The authors explain what we know about the workings of the brain in a fluid style that neither talks down to nor overwhelms the reader. This science becomes the foundation for decreasing bewilderment, fear, and shame. There are straightforward and logical recommendations for modifying patterns of anxiety that originate from, and are maintained by, differing brain circuitry.”—Sally Winston PsyD, codirector of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute of Maryland
"Catherine Pittman, a trained behavioral scientist, brings her deep scientific understanding of fear, anxiety, and learning to the world of personal experiences. Few scientists can make this transition from scientific communication to public communication. Pittman, along with coauthor Elizabeth Karle, does this very well indeed. Readers should not be put off by the early presentations of brain mechanisms, because they are surprisingly readable and informative. Moreover, it is information that provides a foundation for readers who have anxiety challenges to use later as they develop effective coping strategies. Readers should find the clear expositions of the where’s, why’s, and how’s of anxiety and its management to be an anxiety-reducing read.”—J. Bruce Overmier, PhD, professor emeritus in the graduate faculties of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science at the University of Minnesota
