There is an epidemic of anxiety - studies consistently indicate more that 1 in 4 people regularly experience anxiety. In teenagers it rises to 1 in 3. 

It is devastating for many people to live with constant worry and fear. Anxiety that becomes panic attacks can be severely limiting. 

This podcast will introduce some models, rooted in science, that have helped many people shift their anxiety experience. Anxiety is rooted in protective gestures of speeding up to survive. It is much more a psychological problem. In this webinar we will explore embodied approaches to managing anxiety. 

Appreciating the hidden stories and protective reflexes working hard to protect you can transformative for many people. It is possible to learn to self regulate intense feelings. Feeling is hard. But if you can't feel, it is very hard to heal. 

We will look at simple, practical tools that can help take the edge off anxiety by understanding and relating to our physiology.
