About this deal

Russell shares his own journey through anxiety. He talks about how growing up with a father who was schizophrenic and bipolar, left alarm signals, imprinted in his body. And, for over 30 years he searched for relief from his anxiety. But nothing worked.

When your chest expands like that, it sends a message up to your brain stem, the bottom part of your brain that connects to your body, that everything is okay. The converse is also true. When your chest starts to constrict, which it does when you get anxious, it also sends a message up, “We’re in danger.” The brain starts looking for dangers and if it doesn’t find one, it makes one up, which is what worry is. Having done all that, the "alarm" still would find its way through to terrorize me, and I believed the cruel, negative thought loops to such a point that I wanted to die. What I would encourage them to do is bring the color in, go through the toes and the tissue, go everywhere, but also on the exhale, see the color leaving, and take all the stuff you don’t want that doesn’t serve you like the worry, the anger, or whatever it is. Try to give people the tools to connect with that ability to go, “I’m going to offload this.” You talk in your ABCs, then you have C for connection. That’s important because people feel that although we failed at this or we’re disappointed maybe we weren’t equipped yet. To give ourselves to be compassionate with ourselves and say, “Maybe I have more tools. I can get in there and try again or allow myself,” that’s another thing we do. We’re like, “I’m not good at this. I’m not good at that,” and we wrap it up.Dr. Russ shares his experience being a medical doctor and an intuitive, and how it affected his coaching. I could talk about this stuff for years, Gabby. I love talking with you. It is one of those things where we have to realize the root source of a lot of this and treat it at the root source as opposed to medicating it, as opposed to trying to talk our way out of it. There’s limited penetration from the cognitive mind into the amygdala, the feeling mind, superior temporal gyrus. There are all these places in our brains that aren’t that accessible to language. Unfortunately, that’s where a lot of these negative programs are stored. Why are we trying to heal these unconscious programs with conscious thinking? It helps, but it’s never going to heal you. But it’s a dichotomy: in shielding our true innocent selves from “harm” by keeping our authentic selves sequestered in the treasure chest, the dragon, in the same fell swoop, also prevents our authentic selves from being open to the world. In this human life, we can be in growth or protection, but other than in true faith, growth and protection are mutually exclusive. You can bring yourself into the present moment and the best way of doing that from my position is sensation. Use your sensation, use your touch, use your smile, use whatever you need, give yourself a hug or wrap your hands across your shoulders because that will bring you into the present moment. The other thing is looking at yourself in the mirror, in the eyes, which is way harder than it sounds. It’s hard to look yourself in the eyes because you are talking to your own emotional brain at that point. There’s no crap, there’s no BS at that point. You’ve got to answer yourself when you look at yourself straight in the eyes like that.

The ego isn’t there to hurt us and the ego gets a lot of bad press. I invented this thing called the ego dragon. When you’re feeling helpless, hopeless, and powerless as a child, you develop this mythical omnipotent figure to protect you. The dragon basically will stop you from doing anything that has ever hurt you in the past. The dragon is like the amygdala. Anything that’s ever hurt you in the past, the amygdala will stop you from doing that again.

I got as close as I could to the mirror and looked into my eyeball and I was like, “You’re going to have to be strong right now.” I knew it was the kind of thing that you could see me and then see me in a year and be like, “What the hell happened to Gabby?” I knew I was going to have to decide to pay attention to stand up straight because I wanted to go and get under the duvet. I have been sharing my anxiety journey, and the tools that have helped me, for the past five years. Russell’s core message has the potential to be transformative – that it’s more effective to use the body to calm the mind, than the mind to calm the body. Given how prevalent anxiety is now across society, I think this is a profoundly important conversation. I hope you enjoy listening. When you say, “I’m going to work out the big meeting,” that scope gets a little smaller. Now we’re talking about a point in answering questions. That point is even more focused. You have to move that aperture because otherwise, you get too fatigued. Finding a way to move there relaxed so that I had the energy to execute. Once I’d run around the court, I would start to tell myself, “This is my area in space. I feel comfortable here. I belong here.” I would take a little ownership of that space.

Cognitive bypassing is really about how you intellectuallize the abuse that happened to you, the story you tell yourself around it to make you feel better. It is an unconscious implicit memory.”A is awareness. Be aware of the feeling that you get in your body and your common anxious thoughts, because we all have the same thing. Maybe you won’t recognize the feeling right away because you haven’t trained yourself to look for it. Look for it. Get my book built and it’ll teach you how to get it. When you find those patterns starting, go into your body and breath. Get out of your head because your head is not going to help you even if it tells you, “We’ll think positive.”

When you come up with a horrible thought, the reason, it recharges the alarm in your body so you get caught in what I call the alarm anxiety cycle. The only way to get out of that is to go into a sensation, allow yourself to feel it, and be acclimatized to it. Teach yourself, “This is uncomfortable. I don’t like this feeling. I find that if I don’t compulsively add thoughts to it, I’m okay.”Außerdem scheint es beim Versuch diese Probleme zu lösen vorwiegend darum zu gehen anders zu denken. Mein Verhalten und meine Reaktionen zu verstehen finde ich durchaus extrem wichtig. Allerdings änderte für mich eine positivere Denkweise nichts daran, wie ich mich gefühlt habe. No kidding. This is awesome. I look like a pasty, white Scott person and you look like a beautiful Hawaiian. It’s a nice contrast. Dr. Russell shares his thoughts for coaches or doctors who insist on the cognitive-behavioral mind model.
