Breaking the Anxiety Loop: Neuroscience-Based Strategies for Rewiring the Anxious Brain
Dr. Catherine Pittman
- Live Webinar
Friday, December 15th
12:00 PM EST – 3:15 PM EST
Overview:
Humans are naturally prone to fear & anxiety. Our are brains wired to search for threats, focus on them, and overestimate them. In order to counter this, we can rewire the brain using proven interventions that calm the amygdala & teach the cortex new responses to threats.
This training, led by Dr. Pittman, provides clear insights of how the amygdala and cortex each influence the production of fear & anxiety. The interventions presented in this course have empirical evidence demonstrating how they impact the brain & provide effective treatment for anxiety disorders.
You’ll learn a neurologically-informed approach to CBT that effectively treats anxiety, and is accessible to clients of all educational levels. Interventions that target both the amygdala & cortex are presented in this course. Join us, as we tap into the root causes of anxiety so you can truly understand & calm an anxious mind.
Objectives:
- Motivate clients by clearly explaining how the interventions target parts of the brain that
create anxiety and stress and panic (specifically the amygdala and cortex). - Identify specific brain-based interventions for both the amygdala and cortex that will allow clients to overcome the negative effects of anxiety on their goals.
Course materials are only available to enrolled students.

Dr. Catherine Pittman
Catherine M. Pittman, Ph.D., HSPP, is a licensed clinical psychologist, and psychology professor at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, IN. A practicing clinical psychologist treating anxiety for over 30 years, she also is experienced in neuropsychological rehabilitation with individuals who have experienced brain injuries or strokes. In 2019, she was honored by Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana with a Service Award for her work in treating brain injury. Dr. Pittman practices neurologically informed CBT, and has conducted research in both fear conditioning and neuropsychology, preparing her well to explain the neurology of fear and anxiety. With Elizabeth Karle, Dr. Pittman authored Rewire Your Anxious Brain, a book recognized for its clear explanation of how to change both the amygdala and cortex in order to make the brain more resistant to anxiety. She also wrote Rewire Your OCD Brain with coauthor neuropsychologist William Youngs. She has been referred to as “the Amygdala Whisperer,” so it is no surprise that her most recent book is a workbook on overcoming anxiety titled Taming Your Amygdala, published by PESI.
