The Anxious Mind Reset Course
With Sequoia HenningThis course is for overthinkers, worriers, and anyone who rehearses conversations before having them or replays small talk afterward, and people who have anxiety. No diagnosis, label, or dramatic backstory is required. Students will learn how stress and anxiety can be driven by the amygdala, affectionately nicknamed “Carl” in the course. They’ll discover how anxiety can be understood not as a personal failing, but as an overprotective, outdated alarm system that is simply trying to keep them safe. They’ll also walk away with a practical toolkit they can use to calm and retrain that alarm system, including breathwork, belief-rewriting, visualization, and affirmations. Learn where anxiety actually lives in the brain and meet the physiological sigh, the fastest research-backed calming tool available. Uncover the four most common anxious beliefs (not good enough, something bad will happen, can't handle it, and comparison) and start rewriting them with a simple reframing practice. Use visualization to give your brain a steadier scene to rehearse instead of the usual worst-case mental movie. Belief, visualization, and affirmations together into one final anchor practice, with a focus on the science of why grounded affirmations work.
This light hearted course using breath, belief work, visualization, and science-backed affirmations to calm anxiety by retraining Carl.

Meet your Teacher
Sequoia is a holistic healing practitioner and spiritual life coach with over two decades of experience in the healing arts. Her work draws on pranayama and breathwork as core tools for calming the nervous system, alongside years spent supporting people as a spiritual and life coach, through anxiety, fear, and the old patterns of thinking that keep them stuck. She brings together traditional healing wisdom with a practical, grounded understanding of the breath and the body, developed through decades of hands-on practice and one-on-one work with students and clients navigating anxiety in their daily lives. This course is shaped directly by that experience — breath and belief work that has been tested, refined, and lived, long before it needed a name like "the amygdala," or, in this course, simply "Carl."
