Parents of Neurodivergent Students Group

This episode aims to reframe anxiety as a manageable neurological state, not a personal failing. The podcast highlights the biological and neurological aspects of anxiety, including hyperactivity in the amygdala and neurotransmitter imbalances. It emphasizes the strengths associated with anxiety, such as empathy and attention to detail and provides strategies for managing anxiety, including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques.

The discussion seeks to destigmatize anxiety by sharing the experiences of famous individuals and challenging common myths surrounding the condition, encouraging a more supportive and understanding perspective.
