Anxiety science-based apps, movies, meditations

Research, my personal experience and that of the psychologists we work with shows that we can do something about anxiety.

It may take time and it may need a bit of work but help is available.

One thing that may help is understanding a simple fact: for a person experiencing anxiety, some types of danger might seem real – just like a bear entering the room.

Trying to tell someone who struggles with anxiety to “man up” or “get over it” may not be the best strategy. After all, if we’d see a bear entering the room … probably no amount of talking can convince us that there’s no real danger.

In time we may learn to manage anxiety in the normal limits.

Some people might need professional help and it is no shame. I’ve been helped a few times by some very heartwarming and nice psychotherapists and I’m very grateful to them 🙂

Our team worked hard to find and test research-based methods that can be of great help for people struggling with anxiety and the people around them.

Some people may feel better right away and for others it may take some time. We each have our own unique experiences and peace 🙂

We suggest to read about the methods we’ll send you, maybe try them, and decide which ones work for you.

Meditation is the first method we recommend.

A growing body of research seem to suggest that meditation can help us deal with anxiety.

Imagine a small dog that thinks the big world is full of dangers, and barks very often, afraid at each small potential danger.

Now imagine giving it time to relax in a safe environment. The dog might learn to gradually feel safer and safer in this big world … and stop barking so loud and so often.

It might be the same with the part of our emotional system that give the alarm when we believe we’re in danger.

Meditation might help it relax and feel safer and safer … and the fear alarm won’t sound so loud and often in our minds.

This will help us deal with the fear and anxiety more and more.

The trick with meditation may be trying more types, choosing which one we like more and keep doing it.

Research seem to show that small incremental steps are much more effective than trying to do big chunk of things.

So we suggest to start meditating a bit each day, even one second is better than nothing. And maybe gradually increase the daily meditation time. Some days it might be better than others but it helps to be gentle with ourselves and keep doing it 🙂

So maybe avoiding perfectionism and not beating ourselves up to do more and more everyday is the best way to go. Some research certainly seem to suggest it 🙂

Self-compassion seems to help a lot, according to some very interesting research we found.
