Yes and No. Choosing feelings is possible but it requires mindful training. Many factors affect our freedom to choose. Choosing behaviour is not like simply choosing what to wear in the morning. Choice is learned and affected by our socialisation, our caregiving and the way we internalise our experiences. Our choices are also affected by our need to belong and our sense of self.

And the good news is that you CAN LEARN to choose to eradicate anxiety, let go of worry, and manage stress.

Yay Lets do this!

Do you worry? Do you find yourself turning the same old worries over again and again until the worries seem to get bigger rather than resolve? Worrying can hold you back. I totally get that. I have wasted so much of my life worrying about things that never ended up happening. In effect, I worried about a life that did not exist. My mind looked to the future or referred to the past for answers which lay in the present.

I know that you can free yourself from the burden of anxiety. You can help you be the best you can be.

I promise you precise information based on research. I bring you resources and step-by-step instructions, culminating in creating a user-friendly toolbox of anxiety eradication strategies that I have road-tested.

You can bring intention and discipline to the table. Together, we can work wonders.

Yes, there is a chat forum underneath each lecture. So you can comment, reply to comments or ask for feedback. I will also be contactable and delighted to hear from you throughout the course.

I strongly suggest professional counselling as an addition to the course. This is supportive therapy. It is not a replacement for professional counselling. You may wish to use this as part of a broader therapeutic support plan. You matter, and your safety and wellbeing matter. Always seek professional consultation with any diagnosis.

The course is designed to take four weeks, but it is self-paced. Remember, this is about you. You are free to take as long or as short as you like. Whatever suits you. Defining yourself and being the best version of yourself is about stepping through life deliberately, resiliently and wisely. So make this course work for you....at your pace.

The course uses mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
