Unlock Your Mood: Caveman Psychology | @caroline-cavanagh | The Anxiety Alchemist
In this video, Caroline Cavanagh (The Anxiety Alchemist) explains why many people experience a noticeable dip in mood during certain times of the year. She argues that, despite modern comforts like brick walls and radiators, our brains are still wired like those of Paleolithic ancestors. The episode outlines how evolutionary psychology—specifically the "caveman" mindset—creates a mismatch with today’s environment, leading to seasonal mood drops. Cavanagh describes the underlying mechanisms (e.g., reduced daylight, altered activity patterns) and offers practical suggestions for aligning modern habits with our ancient wiring to mitigate the mood slump.
