Anxiety and Stress Resilience Worksheets, Books, and Recordings 0
I understand anxiety because I've dealt with it myself. From that place of understanding, I've helped counseling clients overcome every level of anxiety from stress and generalized anxiety--to panic and phobias.
I've learned to tackle anxiety from a variety of angles that take into account that anxiety is both a mental/emotional phenomenon and a physical one.
I've earned certificates in anxiety treatment approaches including neuroscience, hypnotherapy, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health.
All that learning and experimenting to discover what helps and doesn't help informed several anxiety-related books and hypnosis recordings that I've written and recorded.
