I like a quote by Stephen King: "Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us and sometimes they win." Anxiety is no more a person than leukemia or diabetes. Anxiety convinces it's victim that safe things are dangerous, and to be avoided; puppies are perceived as alligators, and who wants to get close to those?! Sometimes the danger is perceived to be physical while at other times it is thought to be social; either way, isolation is anxiety's endgame. The treatment of choice for this is usually cognitive behavioral therapy, something that I have been doing, teaching others how to do, and writing about, for decades. The results can be quite life-giving and remarkable.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.
