Overcome! Anxiety Clinic groups and 1:1 experience
I
Education, Education is the main focus of the overcome anxiety clinic. Even though it is taught in a group setting (but also offered 1:1 too), this is a personal experience.
The information given in each meeting is intended to be worked through in between sessions. A daily commitment is required to defeat anxiety – it is not a quick fix because you learn techniques to regulate your mind body and spirit by learning about your nervous system and other somatic-based techniques to reprogram habits of being and thinking.
I provide you with a workbook ($29), a booklet with educational support information if you want to dig in deeper, audio recordings with guided practices, sequence sheets, and a self-regulation toolbox to help you uncover your inner power and gain control over a runaway nervous system.
You will be introduced to a neuropsychological explanation of triggers, what is happening internally when triggered, and the process of reprogramming our responses to get rid of triggers. Conscious use of self-regulation tools is taught to begin to break the cycle of physical stress.
--- You will have ONLINE access to the videos and information! You don't have to buy the book but it's highly recommended.
