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 friend and Slayer's sister, 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.

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

We love to mix up a potent blend of storytelling, coaching, guided relaxations,

EFT tapping, yoga, breathing exercises, along with our many, many years of personal experience.

And this week, we're going to talk about a statistic that really blew my mind this week.

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, up to 40 million

Americans are coping with anxiety, stress, and depression. And I knew that there were a lot of us.

I knew that the biggest reason why Anangana came together

was to support people all around the world, not just Americans, but that number just kind of knocked me out.

And when I posted that information on our Facebook page, so many of you were blown away as well.

But what came back around is that you're not alone,

that this is a really big deal.

And the reason why Anaga and I come together is to help you cope and support yourself

the best you possibly can if you are struggling with anxiety and stress and depression.

You are not alone.

Welcome, Ananga.

Can you believe that number?

You probably have a number in the UK that you're aware of that I'm not,
