A 90-Minute Live Experiential Workshop
If your client is still stuck with anxiety—despite years of hard work–it’s not that you lack insight.
It’s that the real source of the problem hasn’t been found yet.
Deconstructing Anxiety is a groundbreaking, evidence-based approach for rapidly uncovering the root causes of anxiety. It puts forth–and demonstrates–the revolutionary idea that there is a single “core fear” at the root of all suffering, expressing itself in five universal themes of loss:
• abandonment (loss of love)
• loss of identity
• loss of meaning
• loss of purpose
• fear of death
Each of us develops a “chief defense” as our best attempt to protect ourselves from the core fear. While this defense does have its silver lining, it inevitably backfires, creating more of the fear it was supposed to protect us from.
The Deconstructing Anxiety model proposes a master key to healing–“doing the opposite of the chief defense”. This creates the necessary exposure to, not just any fear, but one’s core fear, the true root of suffering in our lives. With this precise prescription for healing, the core fear is revealed to be an illusion–we see that it is literally incapable of fulfilling on its threat. Such insight into the true nature of anxiety inevitably dissolves it and sets us free.
In this experiential training, you will be guided in the “Digging for Gold” process, to discover your own core fear. Participants will leave the training with sufficient skill to guide others through the process as well. Research shows these processes to have a “strong positive” effect on relieving anxiety and enhancing Fulfillment.
Come prepared for an exciting adventure into the deepest regions of the unconscious, where the hidden fears at the source of our challenges live, making them available for rapid and lasting transformation.
In this live, experiential workshop, you will be guided to uncover the single core fear at the root of anxiety. This core fear is the true culprit, the hidden secret, driving not only anxiety, but:
Avoidance patterns
Relational difficulties
Perfectionism
People-pleasing
Self-sabotage
Depression
Chronic dissatisfaction
Inner conflict of any sort.
This is not a lecture about anxiety.
It is a direct experience of the essential insight that makes lasting change possible.
Many self-aware people still struggle with anxiety because:
- Insight alone doesn’t reach the emotional root
- Symptom-focused approaches miss the organizing fear underneath
- Anxiety isn’t the problem—it’s the messenger.
Deconstructing Anxiety works at the source.
When the core fear is seen clearly, anxiety no longer needs to escalate to get your attention.
