Understand what's happening in your mind and body — and build a toolkit to manage it.
A personal welcome and overview of this mini-course from Zack.
The science and psychology behind anxiety: our brains are wired with a built-in alarm system — the fight-or-flight response. This evolutionary mechanism constantly scans for threats to keep us safe, but in modern life it often fires when there's no real danger, leaving us feeling on edge.
Anxiety shows up through both mental symptoms (racing thoughts, worry, difficulty concentrating) and physical symptoms (rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, shallow breathing, stomach issues).
Left unchecked, anxiety can affect your focus, performance, relationships, and overall well-being — making everyday tasks feel harder than they need to be.
