    HomeKit: Helping Your Clients Get Unstuck (Part I of VI: Anxiety)⭕️

    In the next six podcast episodes, I will give you six of the ‘whisper-in-your-ear’ complete lessons from HomeKit, the first audio kit to help you get unstuck in sticky situations. Here are the six topics: 1. Anxiety 2. Assertiveness 3. Discipline 4. Expressing Love 5. Procrastination 6. Stress Each of the lessons consists of I. An introduction II. Three strategies III. Three rationales --- Today, we will start with Anxiety. Anxiety What is anxiety? Anxiety is experiencing failure... in advance. Here’s How: 1. To recompose...back into your body (listen to the experiential exercise in the audio). 2. Convert Anxiety into Fear. 3. Convert your worrying into planning. Here’s Why: 1. To Worry = To ‘Strangulate’. Travelling at the speed of light causes anxiety. Learn to travel at the speed of life. 2. Dealing with anxiety can sometimes feel too vague and nebulous, like catching clouds. By converting it into fear, you name it and have a better chance of healing it. 3. Worries goes in circles; planning goes in an intentional direction.For more on Homekit, go to darylchow.com/homekit --- Subscribe to Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development (FPD).
