THE SOLUTION TO ANXIETY SYMPTOMS:
Our anxiety centre has an unbelievable amount of control over almost all of our physiology and thinking. And, this very primal system uses this control to create symptoms that are designed for two purposes only:

1. To get our attention
2. To ask us to participate in staying safe.

Most of us don’t like those symptoms, understandably, so we fear them and we do everything we can think of to fight them off.

It’s a fight flight response.

It doesn’t matter if you’re using deep breathing or meditation to try and fight them off, you’re fighting a fight flight centre and it’s the equivalent of putting Gasoline on a fire in an attempt to put it out!🤪

This is a natural strategy and one that will absolutely never work and, your anxiety will continue different and greater things until which time as you respond in a helpful way.

Name it, I call mine Homer after Homer Simpson! Whenever it arises say, “Homer, you want my attention you’ve got it! Homer you want to keep me safe. I am going to help! “. THEN DO IT AND MEAN IT!

If you treat it like a colicky baby you love (sometimes we really just don’t know what the crying is about!”) the symptoms will absolutely back down. And if you can shift your core belief that you really do mean this, they will drop very quickly.

Watch the Pixar movie “Inside Out 2” which is a master class and how to manage your feelings, and join me for a private 12- Week Therpy/Coaching in the Anxiety Release Protocol (ARP).

After having helped hundred if not thousands turn this around odds are very good I have seen what you are experiencing numerous times over the years and, together we can turn this around!

Best of luck and now go stop being so mean to to your anxiety and make a friend! 😁🤗

Now is a great time to get started:

, mental health support workers, and MDs, who provide psychotherapy:

This is the first (yet standalone) course in a three day program which equips you with the skills to help your clients and patients make profound shifts in their capacity to self regulate and no longer be destabilized by anxiety symptoms.

Helping someone end panic attacks and not suffer excessive anxiety symptoms is one of the most sought after goals by our patients and clients.
Most evidence based modalities have limited effectiveness and don’t tend to last. Having the skills to allow our patients and clients to recognize their own agency to self-regulate and the skills to do so - is the cornerstone work.
Once someone is able to stop suffering the symptoms, we are now in a place to do the deeper work. Installing this agency and skill can be done effectively and quickly using the Anxiety Release Protocol (ARP).

It’s time we embrace healthcare for our minds as readily as we embrace it for our bodies. Not just for everyone else, but for ourselves.

Trying to survive in this material world is such great suffering that we have forgotten we are born to flourish.
“No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it,“ said Albert Einstein.
Consider your options. You deserve to flourish.

ARE YOU TAKING AN ANTI-DEPRESSANT?

It now appears they can cause your to more quickly lose your ability to think as you age (Cognitive decline, like dementia or Alzheimers). I AM not a medical doctor so not offering medical advice and not suggesting they should not be taken - always check with your doctor.

As Psychotherapist specialzing in anxiety I know therapy/coaching can most often end even the worst of anxiety, and frequently without drugs. If you take a SSRI take a copy of this article to your doctor and have a chat - and remember, it's YOUR brain that is creating these thoughts and feelings you may not like - and YOUR MIND does have the ability to teach your brain how to think in better and more helpful ways - that is what good psychotherapeutic coaching can do.

If you want support call me or go to my website to set up a free consultation or book an appointment. (Ontario,Canada residents only)

A new study based on data from 18,740 dementia patients suggests that antidepressants may accelerate cognitive decline.

Never under estimate the power of your mind to to rewire your brain. In this study people took placebos (sugar pills with no drugs) to reduce their anxiety before taking their drivers test. Although they knew the pills were sugar, they chose to take a regiment of the pills a few days prior to the test and on the day of the test. There was a significant reduction in anxiety for a large number of the group.

So next time somebody says “you got this!“ Believe them. YOU do!

Passing the driving school test can be very challenging, especially in big cities, where up to 52% of all students fail this test. Consequently, many learner drivers experience stress and anxiety.
