Podcast description: In this episode of the anxiety guy podcast, we dive into a crucial aspect of healing anxiety that's often overlooked — release work. Many people focus on calming their nervous system without addressing the repressed emotions, stress, and tension that need to move out first. But true healing comes when we listen to our body, let go of trapped energy, and shift our nervous system into a state of true relaxation.

Dr. Nicole Cain is a leading expert in resolving anxiety and has helped thousands of patients break free from panic and build lasting mental wellness. In this insightful interview for the MindHealth360Show, she shares the powerful methods behind her revolutionary approach to treating anxiety. Author of the book Panic Proof: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever, Dr. Cain brings a unique and multidisciplinary perspective to mental health. With a degree in clinical psychology, training in EMDR, and a license as a naturopathic physician, she incorporates medical, psychological, and holistic approaches to healing, and successfully bridges the gap between biochemical and psycho-spiritual factors to address anxiety from multiple angles. In this compelling and complex conversation, Dr. Cain introduces the 9 distinct types of anxiety (thought anxiety, chest anxiety, gut anxiety, depressive anxiety, nervous system anxiety, anger anxiety, endocrine anxiety, trauma anxiety, and immune system anxiety), emphasising that our different experiences of anxiety require tailored treatments. She highlights the importance of identifying the root-causes of anxiety for sustainable and effective healing and reminds us that anxiety is not caused solely by a stressor, but by how we respond to it in states of sympathetic activation. She outlines her ‘panic proof' strategies that focus on mind, body and soul for healing from anxiety and panic attacks, and explains why focusing on our bodies, sensation, touch and connection is so important. With real warmth and optimism, Dr. Cain reassures us that we are designed to heal, offering a message of hope: recovery from anxiety is not only possible – it's within reach. In this episode you will learn: How anxiety and panic coexist on a spectrum, with panic at one extreme and generalised anxiety at the other. Why a trauma and biology-informed approach is essential, and how addressing both the biochemical and psycho-spiritual aspects of anxiety leads to deeper healing. Why anxiety originates in the body, and how thoughts are attached to those physical sensations – rather than the other way around. How to identify early “canary” warning signals of anxiety and why each person's experience is unique. Why we can't simply “talk” ourselves out of feeling anxious, and ways that trauma is stored in non-verbal parts of our brains, influencing anxiety in ways we might not consciously recognise. Why anxiety becomes maladaptive when it is not proportional to a threat, and ways maladaptive behaviours are those that stop you from adapting to new or difficult circumstances. The neurophysiology of anxiety – understanding anxiety as a stress response that results from the nervous system getting "stuck” in a heightened state - and why it's rooted in the reaction, rather than in the stressor. The root-causes of anxiety, including environmental toxins, moulds, infections, hormone, nutritional and neurotransmitter imbalances, inflammation, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences - and how these biochemical and psycho-spiritual factors interplay. The 9 types of anxiety – thought anxiety, chest anxiety, gut anxiety, depressive anxiety, nervous system anxiety, anger anxiety, endocrine anxiety, trauma anxiety, immune system anxiety – the typical symptoms of each, and how each type informs targeted treatment strategies. How the brain's salience network contributes to anxiety, and why excessive sensory stimuli (screens, social media, blue light, toxins) can trigger panic. How to shift from asking “how do I make the anxiety stop?” to “what is my body telling me I need” - and why listening to our bodies informs healing strategies. How experiencing physical touch and building meaningful human connections play a vital role in recovery. Why asking “how can I become more of myself?” rather than “how do I fix myself?” can be a powerful tool reframes how we accept and heal from anxiety. 3 key foundational strategies that build resilience and adaptability; 1: meeting core human needs (prioritising connection, proper nutrition, hydration, warmth) 2: removing obstacles to healing (toxic relationships, unfulfilling jobs, and unhealthy environments) 3: strengthening brain/body health (herbal medicine, detoxification, micro-dosing, targeted nutrition, movement, bodywork, sauna therapy, and massage) A practical demo of the “3 minute hack” ,tips for panic attack prevention, and why self-compassion and care transform our experiences of anxiety.

"You can read and listen and learn for years, but unless you take actions that create more well-being, you will remain stuck. While accurate information is important and often transformative, it's the compassionate actions we take on our own behalf that create long-lasting, deep-rooted, sustainable change." In today's episode, we introduce a new tool for healing anxiety at the root: Sheryl's forthcoming publication, The Healing Anxiety Workbook. Over decades of working with individuals struggling with anxiety, Sheryl has identified the pain points that most call out for our attention through the voice of anxiety: disconnection from self, from others, and from the unseen world. In today's episode, we discuss how the inception of this book reflects the very mindsets that ease anxiety; how to deal with perfectionism and anxiety about engaging with a workbook in the first place; and the most important, foundational exercise in this work/play book that Sheryl believes is the key to creating lasting change.

Have you ever tried to “think” your way out of anxiety, only to feel like your body just won't listen? You tell yourself,I know I'm safe, but the tension, racing heart, and sense of dread linger anyway. That's because healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—it's aboutcreating safety in your body first.In today's episode, we're exploring:
As a highly sensitive person (HSP), have you ever wondered why anxiety feels so overwhelming—why stress lingers, your mind races, and traditional anxiety advice doesn't seem to work for you? It's not just in your head—it's in your nervous system. HSPs experience the world more deeply, making us more prone to overstimulation, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. But healing anxiety isn't about “just thinking positive” or pushing through—it requires a nervous system-first approach tailored to sensitive people. In this episode, we dive into:✔️ Why HSPs are more prone to anxiety (and how your brain and body process stress differently).✔️ Why traditional anxiety treatments often fall short for highly sensitive people.✔️ The mind-body connection and why healing isn't just about mindset—it's about creating safety in your body.✔️ 5 essential tools that help HSPs regulate anxiety, reduce overstimulation, and find calm. If you've ever felt like traditional anxiety advice doesn't quite work for you, this episode will help you understand yourself better and take practical steps toward relief.

How much time, energy and money have you spent on talk-therapy and medications trying to deal with your anxiety? Most people (doctors included) think anxiety is caused by a combination of genetics and stressful or traumatic events. It's a thinking problem that must be understood before it can be solved. So we spend countless hours combing through childhood traumas, assessing attachment styles and experimenting with substances to balance our brain chemistry. With nothing to show for it. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health diagnosis in the United States. But anxiety isn't in your head, as most people assume. There is an alarm going off in your nervous system that causes overwhelming sensations of fight or flight, doom and gloom. The brain is simply projecting those feelings into whatever you're thinking about. Healing anxiety requires you to address the root cause, which is the full-body, present-moment experience in your nervous system—not the story you're telling yourself about why you feel the way you feel. Dr. Russell Kennedy is here to explain where anxiety lives in your body and how to use simple, somatic practices to create a sense of safety and calm in your nervous system so that you are no longer held hostage by your own mind.

Join me this week to learn my roadmap for breaking free from the self-abandonment cycle and embracing a life of greater interdependence. You'll hear how to use somatics and thought work to manage difficult emotions, the importance of setting boundaries, and concrete tools for interrupting this cycle so you can reclaim your authentic sense of self.
