What you will learn

  • How to make space for your anxiety instead of trying to ignore it
  • Strategies to learn what your anxiety is telling you
  • Ways to develop your own “zone of control”
  • Tips for creating an actionable to-do list to manage your anxiety
  • Methods to break out of circular, worrying thoughts

Why should you take this course?

  1. Get to the root of your anxiety. Understand where your anxiety is coming from so that you can treat the causes, just as you would for physical pain.
  2. Treat stressors based on how much control you actually have over them. Dr. Chloe teaches you to divide stressors into things you can and can't control. Relaxation exercises alone can't solve all of your stressors.
  3. Get out of your mental anxiety loops. Learn tools to stop mentally circling around your same worries and start healthier thought patterns.

It had me see how simple it is to tackle upfront issues that make you anxious like shopping. The simply put thoughtful messages made me feel like I was talking to a friend who's happy to listen and find solutions with me. Thank you, wikiHow.

Natalie

I sometimes get anxiety when I am scared or stressed out by something. When it gets so bad that I can't deal with it, I immediately go to my iPad and search how to deal with it. Then I found wikiHow, and it changed me, it really did. wikiHow has helped me so much. Not just with my anxiety, but anything in general. I would like to thank wikiHow and recommend it to anyone with anything they need help with.

Melanie

I am a nervous person and I sometimes don't always channel that energy productively (worrying, pacing, fidgeting). I felt less alone when I went through this material. I felt better already knowing that the anxiety I was feeling is quite normal and the healthiest thing to do is abandon obsession.
