Quotes by Russell Kennedy (?)

“We use our SES to read emotions and connect to other people, and it is in observing others that we learn to read ourselves. And when our social interactions are coming through a screen (and perhaps not even with real people on the other side of the device), it impairs our ability to develop this system and to benefit from its healing power. Face to face interactions are being replaced by face to screen interactions and anxiety and alarm in our children is increasing, while at the same time, empathy in our children is decreasing. It is no coincidence that the lack of activities that mature the SES is corresponding to a jump in anxiety and alarm in our children.”

“The good news is that once we become aware we are biting our own tail, we can choose to let go.”
― Russell Kennedy, Anxiety Rx

“The reason you became anxious is that once upon a time you left yourself, often to look after a parent or it was just too unbearable to be in your body. As a result, you learned to judge, abandon, blame, and shame yourself (in short, take JABS at yourself).”
― Russell Kennedy, Anxiety Rx
