2 Dudes Talkin' Therapy Podcast | Episode 16: Disrupting Anxiety

​Join Dr. Jacob Ambrose and Dr. Vincent Barbieri in this hilarious yet deeply insightful episode of 2 Dudes Talkin’ Therapy Podcast. We dive into the roots of anxiety—starting with the hidden, negative core beliefs that fuel it—and break down how your thoughts unknowingly keep the anxiety cycle alive.

From practical strategies to challenge anxious thinking to a surprising twist into shadow work, we explore why anxiety can make you more selfish (for the sake of self-preservation)… and how tapping into healthy anger, carefree attitudes, and even a little selfishness can actually make you less self-centered in the long run.

We also unpack how “turning off awareness” in specific moments can disrupt anxiety’s grip—leading to more freedom, generosity, and inner calm. This is psychology, self-help, and comedy rolled into one episode you won’t want to miss.

🎙 What you’ll learn in this episode:

How core beliefs form the foundation of anxiety

Why your own thoughts keep the cycle going

Shadow work insights you’ve probably never heard before

How shifting your emotional state changes your relationship with anxiety

Why humor is one of the most underrated therapy tools

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, overthinking, or too tightly wound, this conversation might just change how you approach anxiety forever.
