Rewiring the Anxious Brain: Neuroscience-Based Anxiety Management - Session 1

The York Region Mental Health & Wellness Group presents:
Rewiring the Anxious Brain: Neuroscience-Based Anxiety Management
(Two-Part Series)

Session 1: Understanding & Interrupting Anxiety

Fee: $20

Your mind won’t slow down… your body feels “on edge” even when nothing is wrong… logic doesn’t stop the spiral — it’s not your fault! Your brain is running a survival program that evolved to protect you — but in modern life, it can become overactive and stuck in “threat mode.”

In this 2-hour session, we’ll break down exactly how anxiety works and how to take back control using evidence-based tools.

We will cover:
• How anxiety evolved as a defense mechanism — and why it now misfires
• The neuroscience behind the brain-body stress response
• How chronic anxiety reshapes your nervous system and perception
• Real-time “hacks” to interrupt anxiety as it’s happening

After the session, you’ll receive tools to immediately start applying in real-life situations.

... Come with curiousity - leave with a calmer, more compassionate relationship with your mind!

***This session is mandatory to participate in Session 2***

This session will be facilitated by: Dr. David Klein, MD, CCFP, a GP Psychotherapist, based in Vaughan, Ontario.
