A proven method to rewire your anxious brain
Unwinding Anxiety uses neuroscience-backed techniques to break the habit loops that keep you stuck in anxiety. Here's exactly how it works.
Anxiety is a habit. And habits can be changed.
Your brain has learned to respond to uncertainty with worry. A trigger happens, you worry or avoid, and you feel temporary relief. This relief reinforces the pattern, making anxiety stronger over time.
Unwinding Anxiety teaches you to interrupt this loop — not by fighting your anxiety, but by changing your relationship to it. When you understand the mechanism, you can rewire the pattern.
"In clinical trials, this approach reduced anxiety by 67% in just 8 weeks, more effective than medication alone".

Frequently asked questions
Unwinding Anxiety is a clinically proven digital program created by Dr. Jud Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at Brown University. It uses neuroscience-backed methods to help you break the anxiety habit loop. In a randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (2021), participants experienced a 67% reduction in anxiety symptoms in just 8 weeks.
Unwinding Anxiety is designed for anyone experiencing anxiety, including overthinkers who replay conversations and worry about the future, chronic worriers with generalized anxiety, stress absorbers carrying work and family pressure, avoiders whose world is shrinking due to anxiety, people experiencing physical anxiety symptoms like racing heart or tight chest, and night worriers who lie awake with racing thoughts.
Unwinding Anxiety offers a 7-day free trial. After that, you can choose a monthly plan at $10/month or a 6-month plan at $8/month. That is less than the cost of a single therapy session ($150-$250) for 8 weeks of clinically proven treatment.
The core program is 8 weeks long and includes 30 modules across 4 phases: Map Your Anxiety Patterns (Weeks 1-2), Break the Habit Loop (Weeks 3-4), Build New Habits (Weeks 5-6), and Lock In Your Transformation (Weeks 7-8). Each phase builds on the last, creating lasting change in how your brain responds to anxiety.
Yes. A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (2021) found that participants using Unwinding Anxiety experienced a 67% reduction in anxiety symptoms, compared to just 14% in the control group. Additional studies show a 57% anxiety reduction in physicians (JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2020) and a 27% reduction in worry-related sleep disturbances (Psychosomatic Medicine, 2022).
Unwinding Anxiety includes six core tools: a Guided Program with short daily video lessons, Community Support from habit change experts and peers, app-based Check-Ins throughout the day, Weekly Live Sessions every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Mindfulness Exercises proven to reduce anxiety, and Journaling to track your progress.
