Question 1

Is this workshop only for people with an anxiety disorder?

Accepted Answer

No. This workshop is for anyone who experiences anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, or has difficulty relaxing. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or simply feel like your mind is always “on,” you’ll learn practical tools to better understand and regulate your nervous system.

Question 2

I’ve already tried therapy. How is this different?

Accepted Answer

Many people understand why they feel anxious but still struggle to feel calm. This workshop focuses on body-based, evidence-informed approaches—including EFT (tapping), mindfulness, and EMDR-informed techniques—that work with the nervous system, not just your thoughts.

Question 3

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. This is an educational workshop, not therapy or a substitute for mental health treatment. Our goal is to help you better understand how anxiety and overthinking affect the nervous system while teaching practical tools you can begin using in everyday life.

Question 4

Will I leave with tools I can use right away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is a practical, skills-based workshop. You’ll learn techniques to help calm an activated nervous system, reduce emotional intensity, interrupt cycles of overthinking, and feel more grounded during stressful moments. You’ll also experience a guided nervous system regulation exercise.

Question 5

Do I need to attend live?

Accepted Answer

We encourage attending live so you can participate in the guided experiential exercise and ask questions. However, if you can’t make it, register anyway—we’ll send the replay to everyone who signs up. While everyone is welcome to attend, this workshop is designed for Massachusetts residents.
