A Fresh Face in Hell with Jonathan EvisonEllen Vora, MD - The Anatomy of AnxietyToday, I speak with Ellen Vora, MD, about understanding, treating, and living with anxiety—a condition she thoroughly explores in her book The Anatomy of Anxiety. Ellen and I discussed some of my experiences with anxiety over the past few years. We explore some practical tools to manage the nervous system, from lifestyle changes to therapy, and even spirituality. While it’s not quite a free therapy session, it’s also not your typical interview. Either way, I hope it offers helpful insights for those struggling to understand and manage their own anxiety.
