Скачать или смотреть You’re Not Broken — Here’s What’s Really Going On in Your Brain | Emotional Longevity Podcast

What if your brain was never broken — just misunderstood?
In this deeply insightful episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Alex Korb — author of The Upward Spiral — to unpack what’s really happening inside your brain during depression, anxiety, and emotional spirals.


Together, they explore how your brain’s natural circuitry can trap you in self-criticism, overthinking, and paralysis — and how tiny, science-backed actions can rewire you toward calm, motivation, and joy.


You’ll also learn the surprising reason why high achievers often struggle more with downward spirals, and how acceptance and self-compassion activate healing at the neurological level.

🎧 In this episode, we cover:
✅ The real neuroscience of feeling “stuck”
✅ How to interrupt downward spirals and start upward ones
✅ Why there’s nothing ‘broken’ about your brain
✅ The role of self-criticism and emotional reactivity
✅ Practical brain-based tools for calm and clarity
✅ The connection between self-compassion and motivation
