Get Rid of Anxiety

Is anxiety holding you back from living the life you want? Would you like to learn practical skills to take control of your life and get rid of anxiety? The Learn to Relax program is a unique stress management training program for individuals based on mindfulness and deep-relaxation. This skills-based program gives you the structure, process and support you need to get rid of anxiety in the long term.  Medicare rebates are available under the Better Access initiative.

The Truth about Anxiety

Being anxious is a normal, everyday human emotion. Think back to your first day at a new school, your first driving lesson, your first kiss, your wedding day or the birth of your children. Did you experience anxious thoughts and emotions at these times? Of course, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. But sometimes anxious thoughts become habitual, to the extent where a diagnosis of 'anxiety' may be given, and our quality of life begins to suffer.

At Learn to Relax, we view anxious thoughts and emotions in a particular way. "Anxiety is the result of chronic over-stimulation of the central nervous system", says Learn to Relax anxiety specialist Kylie Shacklock. "The good news is that we CAN learn how to consciously control our nervous system and bring it back into balance. We can also learn to free ourselves of the anxious and worrying thoughts that limit us. All we have to do is learn these skills and then practice them. This is what the Learn to Relax program is all about."
