SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Unwinding Anxiety: An App Based Mindfulness Program
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Nancy Lasson\, DO\, FACP\, DipACLM \nPrimary care provider and medical director of the primary care group at the Women’s Medicine Collaborative of LifeSpan Physician Group in Providence\, Rhode Island \nAbstract:  \nAnxiety can be managed by understanding reward-based learning and using mindfulness to interrupt unwanted behavior. Habits form to promote survival. The underlying mechanism is based on reward-based learning. There are areas of the brain where habits run on autopilot. The neo-cortex\, or new brain\, is where mindfulness can help break the cycle of unwanted habits of anxiety. Anxiety as an emotion has associated behaviors\, including worry\, rumination\, stress eating\, and smoking. The goal of unwinding anxiety is to offer an alternative to autopilot habits by employing mindfulness techniques. Multiple studies have demonstrated significant efficacy in this tool. Mindfulness is the awareness that occurs when paying attention in the present moment intentionally\, without judgment. The felt experience of mindfulness replaces autopilot habits like worry and stress. \nBio: \nDr Nancy Lasson is a primary care provider and medical director of the primary care group at the Women’s Medicine Collaborative of LifeSpan Physician Group in Providence\, Rhode Island.
