The Anxiety Plan course
Severe anxiety is a trap that can destroy your quality of life.
It stops you from doing the things you want and enjoying everyday aspects of life.
Years of research shows that the most powerful way to change the emotions is to change the way we think about them.
Within everyone is the capability to live well — but learning to do so is not always easy.
This is not a ‘think-positive’ style course: it is a realistic and rational course about dealing with anxiety.
It will help you transform your thinking and make lasting changes.
It is possible to discover the capability within yourself to live well.

A practical, easy to read self-help guide
This anxiety course is all about doing and changing.
It encourages a focus on changing your thoughts, behaviours and responses to situations.
There are numerous short sections with many action points.
It contains no theory and very little technical psychological information.
However, it is based on the latest anxiety research.
The points will be useful for anyone experiencing common anxiety problems.
The aim is to help you to see your anxiety differently.
Covers all the main anxiety issues
This anxiety course covers the most common types of anxiety issues and how to deal with them.
These are:
- Generalised anxiety and worry: for people who constantly worry about a wide range of issues, rather than something specific.
- Social phobia: for people who feel that social anxiety is blocking them from getting the things they want: relationships, promotions or just human contact in general.
- Specific phobias: for those with fears of things like the environment, snakes, spiders, enclosed spaces, blood, injections and so on.
- Panic: for people experiencing intense fear, including a very strong physical reaction and the sensation of being about to die or losing complete mental control.
- OCD: for people experiencing intrusive thoughts that are repulsive to them and possibly engaging in repetitive behaviours.
Each section contains specific strategies that are most useful for each type of anxiety issue.
These, along with the general guidance for anxiety issues, can all help.
