Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and

tranquility in your life through anxiety release exercises and supportive

tools created to slay your anxiety.

Welcome to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shan Vanderleak here with my Slayer sister and partner and great friend Ananga Severe.

We come together weekly on Skype to share Anxiety Slayer sessions with you and answer listener

questions from our inbox and Facebook page.

Together, Ananga and I are armed with a powerful collection of techniques to reduce anxiety.

We like to mix up a potent blend of coaching, storytelling, Ayurveda, yoga, guided relaxations, and EFT tapping along with our many years of personal experience. And today we're going to be discussing a

listener question about difficulties leaving the home. And the question is, I have a

question about anxiety.

How does one who has anxiety issues and has problems leaving their home

learn how to handle the anxiety enough so that they stop isolating themselves from getting out of the house.

And I thought that was such a brave question.

Welcome, Ananga, I look forward to your response.

Hi Shen, it is a brave question and it's a very challenging situation.

I think as always the first thing is to be kind to yourself, don't try and push yourself or allow yourself to start your day thinking,

I really must get out, I really should go here or there because immediately you're adding

to your stress and adding to your stress and

adding to your anxiety and your suffering.

The most helpful technique I've used with others

is EFT tapping for this.

It's incredibly effective.
