In this short excerpt, David Brimacombe explains that when you act in ways that differ from your usual patterns, the resulting feelings of anxiety or apprehension are not the brain trying to optimize your life. Instead, the brain is generating a protective response based on past experiences, aiming to keep you safe. This perspective reframes anxiety during recovery or behavior change as a safety mechanism rather than a failure or obstacle.
