Anxiety Rx Russell Kennedy

Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here! On this episode of AnxietyRX, we're diving into some cutting-edge therapy – MDMA therapy!
I'll be chatting with Jonathan Robinson, who's had amazing results using it to treat anxiety and past trauma.
We'll talk about how MDMA can open you up to love, connection, and heal those deep emotional wounds way faster than traditional therapy sometimes can.
Plus, we'll cover how to make this a safe and powerful experience, including things like integration and keeping a positive mindset.
It's all about healing, love, gratitude, and why believing in the process is key.
Let's unlock some amazing possibilities together!
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.

Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here! In this episode, I'm teaming up with Craig Goldberg to talk about something we all deal with – anxiety and stress.
I'm so interested in Craig's journey. He discusses his transition from a stressful lifestyle to finding solace in sound healing, explaining the science behind brainwave states and the therapeutic potential of vibration and how it connects to your whole body – mind, body, and spirit!
We'll also talk about how our childhood experiences can shape us, and how combining what you learn with a little bit of spirituality can be a powerful recipe for inner peace.
So, if you're ready to ditch the jitters and find your calm, this episode is for you!
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
