In this podcast episode, one of the speakers interviews another speaker, named Steven, about techniques to alleviate anxiety by shifting brain activity from the left to the right hemisphere. Steven explains the negativity bias and introduces practical exercises, such as vividly imagining sensory experiences like eating an orange, and engaging in activities that force the brain to create new neural pathways, like mirror writing. He introduces a three-step process (CAT: Calm, Art, Transcendence) detailed in his book, emphasizing the importance of gentleness towards oneself, artistic expression, and achieving a state of flow to transform consciousness and manage anxiety effectively.
