WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DECONSTRUCTING ANXIETY

“The Anxiety Solution” is your gateway to the powerful and transformative Deconstructing Anxiety (TM) program. This live, interactive webinar will give you everything you need to fully deconstruct your anxiety–or any problem you are working with—to break free from its chains, and begin living a life of deep meaning and high purpose.

In this one-day event that is part lecture and part workshop, you will learn just what makes this evidence-based model so effective. With the revolutionary discovery that there is a single “core fear” at the root of any suffering, you will be guided to find your own core fear and learn how to do so for others.

Next, you’ll uncover your “chief defense”, the primary strategy you use to protect yourself from the core fear. As you begin to see this chief defense at work in your life, you will make the remarkable discovery that this strategy, your best understanding for how to resolve your problems, is actually backfiring, creating more of those very problems!

With a clear understanding of the exact source of suffering, you will then be given “the master key to healing”—the all important principle of “doing the opposite of the chief defense”. This is your prescription for healing and growth in any and every situation, and you will not only learn how to apply it but practice doing so with a high level of skill.

The Deconstructing Anxiety method is known for creating powerful change very quickly, as you see the primal forces of the core fear and chief defense driving you in each of the thoughts you think, the feelings you have, and the choices you make. Suddenly, everything that is blocking you from peace, wholeness and fulfillment becomes illuminated with a sweeping clarity. The power of discovering your core fear and chief defense can not be overstated!

Please join us for this important training. And come prepared for an exciting adventure into the deepest regions of the unconscious, where the hidden fears at the source of your difficulties live, making them available for rapid and deep transformation.

PRESENTER BIO

PRESENTER: TODD E. PRESSMAN, PH.D.

Dr. Pressman is a clinical psychologist and international seminar leader. He is widely known for his work with Deconstructing Anxiety, Transpersonal Breathwork and A Course in Miracles.

He graduated with degrees in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and Saybrook Institute. His books Deconstructing Anxiety: The Journey from Fear to Fulfillment, Radical Joy: Awakening Your Potential For True Fulfillment and The Bicycle Repair Shop: A True Story Of Recovery From Multiple Personality Disorder have all received high acclaim. In 1982, he traveled the world to study the great wisdom and healing traditions, including with a Zen master, a Jain family, a Zoroastrian high priest and a Sri Lankan firewalker. His education also includes an internship under Stanislav Grof, M.D. at the Esalen Institute.

With a background deeply rooted in tradition (he was groomed by a father whose teachers were taught by Sigmund Freud), he has integrated this wide-ranging experience into a new program of psychological development called “Deconstructing Anxiety“. His working model is based on Michelangelo’s ideal: to release the statue from the stone, the authentic Self from the overlays of imposed identity, into the discovery of freedom, joy, and fulfillment.
