La anatomía de la ansiedad

Anxiety affects millions of people around the world, a number that continues to rise. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a problem linked to brain chemistry and psychology, the truth is that its origins are rooted in the body. In The Anatomy of Anxiety, psychiatrist Ellen Vora offers us a paradigm shift in our understanding of mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not just a brain disorder but a whole-body condition. In her clinical work, Dr. Vora has discovered that anxiety symptoms can often be attributed to imbalances in the body. The emotional and physical discomfort we experience (insomnia, brain fog, stomach ache, nervousness) is the result of the body's response to stress. The good news is that this body-related anxiety, or as Dr. Vora calls it, "false anxiety," is easily treated. Once the body's needs are addressed, any remaining symptoms are reframed as an urgent plea from within. This, "real anxiety", is a sign that there is something else out of balance in our lives, in our relationships, in the world. Practical, informative, and deeply hopeful, The Anatomy of Anxiety is the first book to fully explain the origins of anxiety and offer a detailed road map for overcoming it and reorienting ourselves toward greater physical and mental balance.
