What experts say
J
Judson Brewer
Anxiety researcher, Brown
"Anxiety is a habit. When we understand the habit loop of anxiety—trigger, behavior, reward—we can start to change it."
Our take
A fresh perspective on anxiety that complements CBT. The habit loop framework makes anxiety feel less like a character flaw and more like a pattern to change. Practical and compassionate.
