Worry is a habit you can unlearn -mindfulness helps!
Hi Neighbours, Jud Brewer is an associate professor of psychiatry at Brown University. His book, “Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind,” addresses anxiety, which he understands as a kind of addiction.
