Anxiety Workshop

Here’s A Taste Of What You’ll Discover In The Workshop:

• The demystifying truth about anxiety… what causes it… and how to work through it (Includes the two main forms of anxiety you need to know about)
• How to deal with uncomfortable feelings, intrusive thoughts, and self-critical thoughts (This doesn’t mean you’ll never face anxiety again, but it doesn't have to control you in the same way.)
• The “catch-22” of your body’s physiological response to anxiety (Often, our impulses only make matters worse! Here’s how to diffuse some of the physiological intensity inherent in difficult conversations)
• 3 simple questions to ask yourself for overcoming uncertainty around having a tough conversation with a loved one (If you just keep coming back to these three questions, you’ll be empowered to communicate in a more honest and meaningful way)
• Rumination: how to avoid falling into thought loops that seem productive when, in fact, they're getting in your way.
• The connection between your level of uncertainty and how that shapes your anxiety (And how to use this understanding to let yourself off the hook for thinking you ‘shouldn’t’ feel a certain way)
• The destructive power of “label loops” and their negative impact on behavior
• A key truth behind anger… and the paralyzing emotions that underlie it (A method for getting to the root of your own emotions and those of the people you care about)
• How avoidance often brings about the very thing we are trying to avoid! (And what to do instead to not get caught in an endless pattern of minimizing and appeasing)
• The most important step to identifying your default anxiety response
• A research-proven technique for disentangling yourself from troubling thoughts (These are the thoughts that suck you in and keep you tangled up in worry and overthinking)
• How to avoid the two main pitfalls of excessive worry and frozen tension (And how to find the courage to have needed conversations in a more transformational way with people that matter to you)
• A thorough discussion on how to apply these techniques with children (While the concepts are similar, there are important differences when dealing with kids and teenagers)
• Two simple ways to reduce self-critical thoughts and self-judgement (Also, the absolute worst thing you can do that will likely make the feeling worse)
• Strategic ways to allow someone to hear you out without instantly putting them on the defensive (It's not about manipulating people to do what you want, but approaching them in this way is your best bet to step into more productive ‘negotiation’)
