Healing The Root Of Anxiety

For those of us who have lived with anxiety most of our lives, we almost forget how it feels to live free from its grip. The endless worrying, overanalysing and avoiding anxiety-inducing situations become second nature. Although what I offer you here is no quick-fix, it can provide you with lasting, deep healing of the root cause of your anxiety. I want you to experience the freedom from anxiety that is your birthright.

This course is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as deep inner child work, and recent insights from psychology and neuroscience. Through daily lessons, guided meditations, and practical exercises, you will gain tools to navigate anxious thoughts, heal past wounds, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Lección 1: A New Understanding Of Anxiety

Explore the origins of anxiety and how it manifests as a thinking process of the mind, in this alternative definition. Learn how anxiety is not inherently painful, and discover the role that the anxiety-alarm cycle has played in your life.

Lección 2: Acute Anxiety Reduction

Explore the vital role of the vagus nerve in anxiety reduction. Learn practical techniques to stimulate the vagus nerve and find instant reduction of anxiety, setting the stage for short-term relief while embarking on our healing journey.

Lección 3: Disrupting The Anxiety Cycle

Understand the alarm-anxiety cycle and discover strategies to break free from its grip. Today we introduce step 1 for healing from anxiety, using the simple yet powerful "Leaves On A Stream" meditation.

Lección 4: The Inner Critic

Dive into the inner critic's origins and its ties to stored alarm energy. Cultivate self-compassion as a tool to counteract self-criticism and explore how strengthening our capacity for self-compassion can support healing.

Lección 5: Releasing Obsessive Worrying

Explore "cognitive defusion" and thought labelling techniques to detach from distressing thoughts. Today you will learn how to unhook from unhelpful, anxious thoughts, the second step of healing from anxiety.

Lección 6: Healing Through The Body

Although getting in touch with feelings and old wounds isn't always easy, today's practice makes it accessible and uncomplicated. This is where real healing from anxiety begins, by finding the source of it which has become lodged in our physical body.

Lección 7: Finding Your Voice

Using the process of reflective inquiry, we will discover where you have been holding back in important areas of your life. Often, if we have lived with anxiety, we tend to suppress our authentic thoughts, feelings and wants. This, if unexamined, keeps us trapped in our anxiety.

This course is excellent. I have listened and taken notes but will continue to listen and ponder and make my own notes. I have explored anxiety and assertiveness before but Isabelle says things so clearly and compassionately that it is far better than others I have heard or read.

Great course that covered a lot of ground in a short time. Enjoyed that it had more of a scientific & clinical orientation. Also noted common themes with work of Dr. Judson Brewer and his research addressing anxiety. Thank you for contributing this content!

Thank you Isabelle! This course has provided me with some tools to help manage anxiety.

This is such a valuable course. Thank you for making this information available in such a simple and succinct way. It’s the simplicity that makes this course so impactful. None of this information is new to me yet it allows me to go deeper.
Thank you 🙏 💕

Need to repeat this a few times I think. Especially the last two sessions. Thank you so much. Be struggled with this for so long and I have have somewhere to start ❤️

Excellent . Succinct and very useful information. Gentle ,calm instruction.

Such a helpful course! Immediately I got relief from the tools you gave me. Thank you so much for creating an easy to follow course on anxiety, I will use these tools often 🙏🏼🤍

This course is powerful and in only seven days a lot of important concepts and ideas are shared. Totally recommend it.

Thank you for taking us through this exploration and offering these tools and questions. I will return to it again to dig deeper.

I like the way this course covers many ways anxiety shows up in our lives and how to address it in different ways. We often think of breath work and she covered several meditation and breathe practices plus other things I hadn’t thought about. Thank you!

Excellent. I found a great deal functionally relevant (and surely useful moving forward), but the last day was particularly unexpected and eye-opening. I’m looking forward to further exploration of these sessions—and of myself—as I continue to strive for less anxiety in, and greater enjoyment of, my daily life.

Love this course . I found your explanations very easy to understand , all the practices you teach very helpful and effective .
Much love and gratitude to you for creating this course and sharing your knowledge with IT community .

Thank you so much for this course. I intend to go over it again and repeat whilst I battle with my anxious

I found this to be one of the most helpful investigations of anxiety that I have ever done. It was succinct and focused and super practical. It was especially helpful to understand how it relates back to the unmet needs of our childhood self. I am taking a lot away from this course to put into practice on a daily basis. I really believe that I will be able to help my chronic anxiety and hypervigilance working alongside my therapy sessions and meditation practice. Thank you ❤️

Very insightful and helpful information that’s shared in a pleasant way!

A well designed and well executed course! It helped to support other coursework I’ve done. In particular I found the model proposed about the connection between thoughts in the mind, and alarm in the body to be very helpful .

Some helpful insights and practical tips, woven together in a coherent course thar was beautifully delivered.

I appreciated all the insights from this course. I am trying to implement the many ideas. I will repeat this course a few times to fully make use of all the helpful information covered here. Thank you!

This is one of the most integrated, woven with care and deepness information
Thank you so much

This course - so well organized and articulated - provides a clear explanation of the root of anxiety and a very approachable set of tools for alleviating it. It’s not a quick fix and nor is it presented as such. It’s a path forward for dealing with something that is deeply rooted. Isabelle is a compassionate and gifted clinician. I felt cared for and in good hands from the start. I look forward with hope to practicing what I’ve learned.
