Anxiety Recovery Program
Anxiety and Your Nervous System
With the success of treating patients with chronic primary pain and anxiety, we have now launched our Anxiety Recovery Program
Anxiety is a stress response that triggers your brain to be on high alert and become hyperactive in response to potential dangers. When your brain and nervous system experience anxiety on a regular basis, your amygdala grows larger.
The amygdala is a tiny almond-shaped structure located in the limbic system, the part of your brain that manages emotions and moods. The amygdala is the brain's lookout, always on the lookout for threats.
When the amygdala detects a potential hazard, it sends signals to the hypothalamus, which activates a fight-or-flight response.
In people with anxiety problems, the sympathetic nervous system takes over when we should be relaxed, telling us that we need to prepare for danger.
This puts you on high alert and can leave you feeling on-edge. Too much time in fight-or-flight mode and not enough time with the sympathetic nervous system in control can lead to the following symptoms:
