I've been a psychotherapist for 25 years working with children and teens and adults, helping them heal anxiety and depression, helping them navigate life transitions and overcome trauma. And I'm not only a former anxiety sufferer but I'm also a mom of young adults who went through the same thing that you are. So I get you and I've got you. In this series, I'll take you through the five steps of curing anxiety, and it's not just going to cure your anxiety; it'll help you understand and get rid of rage, depression, trauma, insecurity, shyness, intrusive thoughts, and so much more. Also, I'll defunct all the mental health myths that have caused you undue suffering. We'll demystify anxiety and depression. You'll learn what they are, where they came from, and why everyone and their brother have them right now. If you don't have it already, go ahead and get yourself a copy of the book, which you'll find anywhere books are sold. It comes in audio, e-reader, and paperback. Go right now and grab yourself a copy. And grab your parents a copy… and grab your friends a copy, because this is going to change lives. This series will get you better because it is possible. And I know that someone might have told you that you "just have to learn to live with it." It might have even been a mental health therapist who said something like that. But that notion's just an idea. It's not a truth. Lucky for you, you don't have to learn to live with it. And, moreover, it is not something that is wrong with you. You are awesome and talented and adaptable, and lovable. You are not anxiety or depression or anger or a mess or whatever your negative thinking tells you that you are. They are lying. It's time to break up with that bully called anxiety and be a single-pringle again. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be close to people. You deserve to understand the world, and you deserve to go after those adventures and opportunities. Not only do you deserve to, but you have the skills to get there. Ready? Stick with me. I'll take you through the whole process, my five steps to curing anxiety. And then you'll feel robust, excited, and ready to take on the world. Each episode we'll go through a section of the book – so you read a section and come on over here to integrate it into your brain and body and spirit. The first episode will be a deep dive into the introduction of the book. In it, I share my anxiety story and then explain the five steps to getting rid of anxiety. I can't wait.
