Anxiety Workshop

Dear Friend,
 
From what I hear and see, anxiety has become a common and serious issue for many, many people in our world.  And, from what I can tell, traditional methods of working with anxiety only provide band-aid treatment, at best.  The Heartwork approach is simple and effective for most of the people I have taught it to.  My understanding is that anxiety is fear of fear – running away from something we fear (usually some imagined future pain).  So the way to eliminate the anxiety is to “stop, look and listen” and question/inquire into the fear itself.  ("You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it." – Albert Einstein).  Heartwork teaches you how to do this.
 
Friday through Saturday, I spent 13 hours in the ER of Strong Memorial Hospital, waiting to get a burn evaluated and treated.  While I was sitting in the waiting room, a man sat down next to me whose blood pressure had skyrocketed to a dangerous level.  His anxiety also was quite extreme.  He told me he has suffered from high anxiety for 30 years, has worked with therapists, psychiatrists, and drugs, but nothing has helped. Then I taught him the Heartwork way of dealing with anxiety and in 10 minutes his anxiety dissolved to the point where he felt more relaxed than he could remember ever having been before.  I wondered what his blood pressure was going to be when he saw the doctor!  I expect his anxiety will return, as it’s who he has come to believe he is and letting go of identities usually takes time and effort.  But now he knows that he doesn’t have to be a victim to the anxiety, and with practice, he will relax his fear that he wil always be anxious.  This is a transformation of his being – which is what Heartwork is all about!
 
So, I decided to offer a brief 2-hour workshop to teach everyone who is interested in learning this way of working with anxiety to have the tool in their tool bag for when they need it.  In the workshop, you will learn how to use the tool, have an opportunity to practice it, and have any questions you might have about it answered.

The workshop will be held only on the Learn it Live platform, on Saturday, August 23rd, from 1-3pm EST.  The fee is $50-$25, depending on your ability to pay. If you have any administrative questions, please email Bruna at [email protected].  If you have questions about the workshop itself, you can email me at [email protected].
 
Ultimately, I would like to teach this to therapists and coaches who help people with their anxiety, as I can affect the lives of the most people this way.  If you are a therapist or coach and would like to master this skill, I’d like to discuss the possibility of working together to discuss how to work with the obstacles that arise when a client is trying to let go of who they know themselves to be.  If you’d like to participate in a group that works with this, email me at [email protected].
 
I hope you’ll come and tell all your friends.  Imagine a world where people know they can deal with their own anxiety internally, instead of spreading it around to others!
 
Blessings and Love,
Dale
