About this Event
Do you find yourself stuck in an anxiety cycle? Have you found that your attempts to get rid of your anxiety just aren't working?
In this workshop, we'll take a closer look at the anxiety cycle—mapping and personalizing it with your triggers and reactions and helping you understand why your natural attempts to manage anxiety can sometimes keep you stuck, and what you can begin doing differently.
You'll leave with a better understanding of what's happening when anxiety takes over and empowered with practical tools for responding differently. You will have a clearer path toward living with greater freedom—even when anxiety shows up.
This workshop will be upbeat and empowering!
Workshop registration includes a free Overcoming Anxiety workbook, light refreshments and discount coupon for lunch at local restaurants on Saturday!
Agenda
🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Part 1: Understand Your Anxiety: Discover why anxiety has kept you stuck.
Info: We'll provide a workbook and interactive presentation to guide you in learning what your anxiety cycle looks like. We'll answer questions like: Why Haven’t the Things I’ve Tried Worked? Why Does Anxiety Keep Coming Back? and How does this happen in MY life? You will discover: why common attempts to eliminate anxiety often strengthen it instead, what patterns that keep the anxiety cycle alive and where you in particular tend to get stuck.
🕑: 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Part 2: Learn a different way to respond when anxiety shows up.
Info: Create a personalized plan, incorporating practical skills to set you free! We will help you notice anxiety with greater awareness instead of reacting automatically, practice making room for anxious thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, and learn to step back from anxious thoughts instead of treating them as commands that must be obeyed.
🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Lunch Break
Info: Included in your registration is a coupon for a discounted lunch at one of downtown's delicious restaurants!
🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Part 3: Build a Life Beyond Anxiety
Info: We'll tie everything together and create a new platform for living your life, guided by your values and your skills rather than anxiety. During this session, we'll answer the question, "How do I start living the life I want?" and we'll prepare you to take values-directed action when anxiety returns.
