I know how to overcome any fear and relieve stress. A bold statement, would you say? I have been a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders for 20 years. Besides, I have never been the happy owner of a calm nervous system. Chronic nightmares, mysterious stomach pains and endless, consuming fear are my old friends. Panic covered me for any reason: what if the stocks collapse? what if my child gets sick? What if I don’t get enough sleep and won’t be able to work normally? I soon realized: I need to change not the cause of my fears, but my reactions to them. Moreover, focusing on what supports and “feeds” our problems interferes with any field of activity. Whether you want to be free of a specific problem (such as panic attacks) or simply want to live a happier, more successful and calm life, the tools to achieve your goal will be the same.
