You can learn to process through anxiety, to resolve it and change your relationship to it. Let me show you how.  In this video we\u2019ll use three examples to show you a step by step way to process anxiety. We\u2019re going to talk about:<br \/>\n1- Bob, who has social anxiety- He feels anxious and uncomfortable around people he constantly worries about what he says and what other people are thinking about him.<br \/>\n2- Jane who experiences general anxiety-She just feels anxious and jittery much of the day for no apparent reason. And<br \/>\n3- Fred who has event anxiety- Fred is really anxious about an upcoming presentation that he has to give at school, it\u2019s a big part of his grade and really needs to get a good score.<br \/>\nAnd we\u2019re going to use these three examples as a way to actually put into practice the emotion processing model, those in-depth skills that help you resolve anxiety instead of just cope with it.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for affordable online therapy?

The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life&#8217;s direction.<br \/>\nAnd deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/comeuntochrist\/believe<\/p>\n<p>If you are in crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at https:\/\/suicidepreventionlifeline.org\/ or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or your local emergency services.<br \/>\nCopyright Therapy in a Nutshell, LLC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn a 5-step guide to manage anxiety effectively.
