So bitter. haha. I actually got that tip from Jordan Peterson. I think he understands a lot more about anxiety than you, and so do I.
One reason for anxiety issues is also an over active amygdala, things like positive self talk can help the pre frontal cortex override the amydala. This comes from studies by neuroscientists.
