If you know the material but your brain completely melts the second the exam starts, this episode is for you.

In How to Outsmart Test Anxiety, Liat sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, author of Panic Proof, to explain why anxiety hijacks your brain and how to shut that down. We break down what your amygdala, nervous system, and “autopilot brain” are doing when panic shows up, plus real tools to calm your body so your executive brain can actually access the right info.

No “just relax” nonsense. Just science, behavior, and practical strategies for BCBAs, RBTs, and everybody inbetween.

Determinism

Consequence

Behavior chain interruption

Function of behavior
