Overthinking & Anxiety Is Ruining You—Here's How to Stop Part 2

What if the biggest source of your anxiety isn't the world around you—but the thoughts inside your own mind? In part 2 of the anxiety series, Dr. Daniel Amen And Tana breaks down what's really happening in your brain when anxiety takes over—and why trying to "fight" your thoughts often makes things worse. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and brain imaging research, he explains how negative thought patterns form, how they hijack your emotional state, and most importantly, how you can take back control. You'll learn practical, science-backed strategies to calm mental chaos, stop overthinking spirals, and retrain your brain for peace. From identifying "automatic negative thoughts" (ANTs) to building healthier neural pathways, this conversation offers tools you can start using immediately. If you've ever felt trapped in your own head, this episode will show you a different way forward—one where you're no longer at the mercy of every thought that crosses your mind. In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why your brain gets stuck in anxiety loops
• The hidden impact of negative thinking patterns
