    The Anxiety Fix Nobody Told You About — Dr. Russell Kennedy on Why Service Dogs Heal What Therapy Can't

    What if anxiety isn't a thinking problem at all — but a feeling problem that traditional medicine has been getting wrong for decades? In this episode of Paws on Point, Tim sits down with Dr. Russell Kennedy — physician, bestselling author of The Anxiety Rx, and anxiety specialist — for one of the most honest and unexpected conversations the podcast has ever had. Dr. Kennedy has spent 30 years challenging the way medicine treats anxiety. His core belief: most people think anxiety is a thinking problem with a feeling component. He believes it's the other way around — and that distinction changes everything about how we heal. What makes this episode particularly powerful for the Paws on Point community is how naturally Dr. Kennedy's framework connects to the world of service dogs. The unconditional trust, the body-based comfort, the way a dog can walk into a room and completely shift its energy — it all maps directly onto the neuroscience of how humans heal anxiety at its root. In this conversation they get into: 🐾 Why traditional psychiatry keeps people coping rather than healing 🐾 The moment that shifted Dr. Kennedy's entire understanding of anxiety 🐾 Why dogs give people access to love they couldn't trust from humans 🐾 The case for dogs in every doctor's office in Canada 🐾 Why connection — not medication — is the most powerful healing force we have 🐾 What 30 years of treating anxiety actually teaches you about yourself This is one of those conversations that makes you see something completely familiar in a brand new way.
