In this episode, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shares his thoughts on what to do when changing your thinking to improve your mood doesn't work because extreme states of anxiety or depression render positive thinking impossible. Instead, Douglas advocates a "bottom-up" approach in which you change your physiology to create the decrease in emotional pain you are seeking.
