Why You Have Anxiety, Stress and Panic Attacks

Based on the latest information on the amygdala or emotional brain coming from the labs of leading neuroscientists, The Therapist Within™ programs confront the most common myths that have contributed to the explosion of mental health disorders in this country and propose a massive paradigm shift and different model for emotional health, anxiety free living, based on the following scientifically-based principles:

• Your emotional mind is naturally self-correcting (homeostasis)
• It provides guidance to our emotional, physical and spiritual health
• It "speaks" to us through our physical sensations (feelings) including anxiety, panic, depression and anger, not our thoughts
• Our ability to sense its messages dulls when we become disconnected from our feelings - through activities such as obsessive thinking, or psychotropic medications, addictions and other attempts to escape discomfort.  
• It can be "re-connected" to restore us to live the life we were meant to live.

Anxiety, Panic, Fear, Stress, Insomnia, Obsessive Thoughts are Symptoms, Not the Disease

The Therapist Within philosophy is not about using tricks and will power to 'derail' your anxiety or fear. It is not about fighting your feelings or giving you one more thing to "do." It is not about keeping panic at bay or about covering up your anxiety with meds.  It does not assume that your anxiety, panic, fear, relationship choices and life crises are "wrong" but instead that they are signals - symptoms - that your body is trying to get rid of emotional memories, anxiety, fear and get healthy. It is not about suppressing those symptoms but rather about learning how to "plug into" and  trust yourself so that you can let go of the struggle - permanently and completely. 

This program will NOT:

• Teach you another method to distract yourself

• Tell you to think positively or fight your fear

• Teach you how to cover up your feelings or push them away with medications or "tricks"

• Provide vague "touchy-feely" formulas  such as "let go" and "follow your feelings." Instead it gives specific, detailed  instructions as to exactly HOW to get rid of anxiety, panic and need to control, and how to know WHEN to do so to get permanent relief

This program will explain

• What neuroscientists have discovered: that your anxiety and distress is the result of something in the here and now triggering protein that was stored in the brain during an earlier trauma

• That your body is engaged in a constant struggle (often with you!) to get rid of this protein and get healthy

• That your anxiety, life crises and abusive relationships are not "wrong" but are symptoms of your brain trying to discharge this protein

• That most of what you have been taught to do only delays the release of the protein and complete relief

This program will also:

• Give you very specific, detailed instructions how to re-connect and accurately read your body's anxious and fearful sensations

• Teach you how to know when your body is trying to get rid of old trauma, anxiety and fear

• Show you how to turn your personal crises and trauma into a healing process

• Provide you the skills you need to turn off your rational brain and turn on your feeling brain to get a good night's sleep

You are the expert in your own life.  While you can get guidance on where to look for answers, only your intuition and 'feelings' can lead you to the correct answer that fits you. The goal of these programs is to help you connect to your internal emotional guidance system so that you can get completely healthy, feel certain of who you are, where you are going, and are living life with clarity, purpose, peace and joy.
