The Worldwide Well-Being
8 Week Signature 
Anxiety Course

What actually is anxiety?   

In this module we will look at anxiety and what it is, covering some of the misconceptions and many myths also out there about anxiety..

I share some of my personal experience, as well as what I have also seen and heard from the 1000s of people I've worked with over the years.

We will also look at what we mean by an open mind, and how we can explore and listen with an open mind?

We will also explore what is meant by an insight, why they are important, and how do we go about getting them?

Panic and Fear

In this module we will look at panic & fear and what happens when we go into fight or flight. Understanding what is happening and that everything is working very much in our favour, can make a huge difference to us when we are struggling.

We will look at what happens in our bodies when we panic or feel fear in any way.

We will look at the physical symptoms attached to the experience, and how the adrenaline makes us feel when in our bodies. Understanding the discomfort can reduce the fear attached to this cycle.

We look at what happens when we get stuck in a cycle of overthinking, and when we resist and fight against this experience, and how we can change that.

We explore the three ‘U’s’ - Uncertainty, Unpredictability and the Unknown.

The True Nature of Thought

In this module we will look at Thought and the true nature of it.

This may seem obvious, but actually more often than not, when someone is suffering, it’s due to the fact that they do not see thought for what it really is.

Thought is a gift, but it can also be a way that we create an uncomfortable experience for ourselves, until we understand more about how it works and that the thoughts that we bring to life create our reality, and therefore we are only ever in the feeling of our thoughts.

We will look at intrusive and obsessive thoughts in this module, what do they say about us as human beings?

We will touch upon trauma and how we can look towards the future despite memories and thoughts about the past.

We will talk about OCD as a diagnosis.

Feelings and Consciousness  

In this module we will look at how our level of consciousness, state of mind or mood impacts the quality of our thinking.

We will learn about and explore the love letters that our physical being sends to us to alert us to exactly what we need in any given moment.

We will look at the idea of healing and what that may look like.

We will look at the natural ebb and flow of emotions, and how they then impact the choices and the behaviour that we respond with, resulting in our own version of reality.

Stories, Labels and Sleep

In this module we will look at the stories and labels we place on ourselves. We can end up telling ourselves these stories so often that we really begin to believe they are true and as a result they can become limiting in our lives. Sarie was diagnosed with a number of things including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder and depression and now sees this all very differently and wouldn’t describe herself as having any of these, and hasn’t for well over ten years now.

We will look at how we create these stories and why they may become limiting.

We talk about diagnosis and whether it can be helpful or not.

We will also look at the stories we have about ourselves and then how this links to us also worrying about what others think of us too!

We will also cover sleep in this module as it is something that we can also often have stories about, whether we are a good sleeper or not, how much we need and so on.

Habits

In this module we will look at habits and also how we go about changing them, it may be much simpler than you think! We will explore the element of reward seeking in habits and how it may be useful to understand what they are in order to create new more healthy and positive habits instead.

We will look at hypervigilance, the. Heightened state that we may find ourselves constantly assessing and problem solving potential perceived threats.

We will also look at how all of this links in to human beings and their need and drive for survival.

Health Anxiety and Fear  

In this module we will look at fear in general and what drives this. This will include talking about some common and not s common phobias.

We will look at how we may find ourselves in a cycle of fear, anxious about getting anxious?

We will look at health anxiety and what it may be useful to consider in order to give you a very different perspective on this.

We will also look briefly at hormones and they also play a part in all of the above.

Compassion and Connection  

In this module we will look at love and compassion.

We will also look at comparing yourself to others and the commonly termed imposter syndrome.

We will consider why so many people start to feel better and then worrying about a relapse of anxiety and overwhelm and how this is unhelpful and feeds the anxiety.
