Anxiety can make us feel like we’re trapped in our brain. So how do
we open the door and gain freedom? This week in our inaugural
episode, Dr. Heather Berlin and Dr. Christof Koch invite Dr. Judson
Brewer to discuss the habit loops that increase anxiety, why
anxiety contracts our Perception Box, and what steps we can take to
change our relationship with anxiety and understand its
evolutionary benefit. Dr. Judson Brewer studies the neural
mechanisms of mindfulness. He is the Director of Research and
Innovation at Brown University’s Mindfulness Center, where he’s
also an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine. Dr. Brewer
is a leading expert in the science of self-mastery and breaking
habits. His books include Unwinding Anxiety, The Craving Mind, and
The Hunger Habit. Dr. Heather Berlin is a neuroscientist,
clinical psychologist, and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience
at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York
City. Dr. Christof Koch is Chief Scientist for the Tiny Blue
Dot Foundation and the current Meritorious Investigator and former
President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Join us for new
