The Dr Christian Heim Podcast

A short stroll through a medieval town and a modern city, then throw a Yerkes-Dodson Curve ball to understand how contemporary life increases anxiety (and excitement). Dr Heim uses music to explain how “rhythms” of life can help you BEAT anxiety with Breathing, Exercising, Awareness and Taking Time to play in nature.

Here Dr Heim touches on Disney’s Aladdin, gets lost in planes, and gets into some monkey business to help you train your anxiety to be useful and even exciting. Also, what anxiety is, what fear is, what goes on in a brain with anxiety, and some diagnosis, treatment and prevention issues.

There are many things in our 21st century that contribute to the high rates of depression: loneliness, lack of love, an emphasis on fame and success and fakeness (inauthenticity). In this episode, Dr Heim looks at these and other contributing factors and gives a practical technique of how to combat depression: by knowing your values.
