Rewire anxiety for good

Just over seven years ago, my former fiancé took her own life following an anxiety attack. In the years since, I dedicated myself to creating a more effective intervention to anxiety than SSRIs or prescription drugs. This course is my best attempt at creating that intervention. And from my personal experience navigating anxious feelings and the thousand plus students I've taught, it’s clear to me that working with anxiety is a skill. And as with any skill, it’s something that can be learned.

One of the myths I see often is that most people believe they need to 'manage' or 'conquer' their anxiety. This frame of conquering is a large part of what keeps most people trapped in their perpetual anxiety cycles. It's a bit like trying to force a beach ball underwater, the moment you relax your grip, that beach ball is going to rocket back to the surface with even more force.
The other approach, which is what this app is oriented towards, is learning how to relax the constriction in your body and bring in curiosity about what it might be protecting you from.
I hope that some of you find this helpful and please do send your feedback or let me know how the app experience can be improved (I built the whole thing myself with codex so it's easy to update!)
