If anxiety has made your world smaller, this is for you.
You might be experiencing panic and fear of your own bodily sensations, constant checking and reassurance seeking, or intrusive thoughts and health anxiety.
Perhaps you're avoiding places and situations, dealing with derealisation and depersonalisation, or living in a state of constant hypervigilance.
However it shows up for you, these are not separate diseases. They are different expressions of the exact same alarm cycle functioning exactly as designed, but stuck in an activated state.
You don’t have to perform anything while you listen.
Every other approach asks you to perform something to feel better—exposure therapy, homework, breathing drills, or talking about your anxiety again.
STAND DOWN asks you to listen from the beginning, in order. The change comes from understanding the mechanism, not from performing an exercise correctly.
