Michael D. Yapko Ph.D. – Calm Down

Everyone gets anxious from time to time, of course. But, if you find yourself worrying too often, thinking too much about how things may go wrong, spinning around the same thoughts over and over, avoiding situations that cause you discomfort, or regularly feel you might not be able to cope with daily challenges without getting overwhelmed, then anxiety is likely to be a bigger part of your life than it needs to be. This Calm Down audio program will help you manage – and even prevent – episodes of anxiety in your life as Dr. Yapko brings his substantial clinical expertise to teaching you many of the key skills that are known to reduce and even prevent anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviors. These are skills for identifying and correcting the thoughts (“What if…?”) and perceptions (“I could never handle it if…”) that lead to anxiety.

Here’s what’s in the Calm Down program:

SESSION 1: Anxiety: What it is, Where it Comes From, and What Can Help (A discussion about how to better understand and manage anxiety skillfully).

SESSION 2: Change as a Process: From Fear to Acceptance Without Thinking Too Much (The importance of adapting to changes in life without over analyzing them).

SESSION 3: Comfortable Familiarity and Seeking Out What’s New (Sensible and positive ways of venturing outside your comfort zone).

SESSION 4: T hinking Globally But Acting Locally (The danger of thinking in overly general terms and missing helpful opportunities).

SESSION 5: Separate This From That (A divide-and-conquer strategy for rising above fear and self doubt).

SESSION 6: Sleep Well (A soothing journey into a good quality sleep which has restorative benefits).

SESSION 7: It Seems Risky…or Am I Just Too Cautious? (A focus on assessing risks realistically and enhancing trust in yourself).

SESSION 8: Looking forward (The importance of considering the future…but without the catastrophes).
