“This was a good course with really helpful tips to handle anxiety.”

“One of the best courses I’ve taken here. Quick read and manageable, with lots of specific and actionable suggestions. Written in a fun way that’s engaging and easy to follow, and backed by facts and references. Really really impressed, and got a lot from it. Thank you!”

“Up to a point descriptions of torturing thoughts an anxious person tend to have with powerful antidots to these habitual states of mind. So far I’ve benefited a lot from the suggested breathing exercises and the strategy presented in the last mail! (like you can’t fire me because I quite – addressed to my anxiety). Although I know my anxiety will keep accompanying me along the way, but I feel now better prepared to use the strength of this opponent in my favor.”
