TESTIMONIALS
"I am thrilled to see such a comprehensive approach to managing anxiety in this workbook. Helena has elegantly and thoroughly provided a plan for anyone to use for deep healing. Anxiety Therapy at Home: Dancing with your Shadow is a step by step approach supported by evidence based and well researched techniques to live a calm and stress-free life. I would encourage everyone struggling with anxiety and stress to engage with this workbook – it is one of the most practical and complete approaches available today."
—Dr Peta Stapleton, Clinical and Health Psychologist,
author of The Science Behind Tapping: A Proven Stress Management Technique for the Mind and Body
This is amongst the finest of self-help workbooks that I have ever read… The topics have scientific backing but of significance, Helena is utilizing her years of experience in making this workbook easy to read in layman’s language. At the end of each topic, there is a visual summary reinforcing what we learn. And you can actually write in the workbook. She has broken this down into easily palatable and doable topics and has incorporated practical coping tools, mindfulness exercises, and an approach to Meridian Tapping. As a Family Physician, I find this workbook the most powerful resource for our patients. I will be recommending it to my patients afflicted with Anxiety. In fact, I would recommend this to everyone even if they have no anxiety.
—Dr Muti Kauchali, Family Physician
A personal touch to self-help and a more balanced life. The author presents a ‘face-to-face’ journey of solution findings, structured on self-analysis, journaling, physical exercise and tapping, to walk you through solutions to resolve anxiety and personal pain. Well-written with fascinating illustrations, to be used as a constant companion piece of advice and guidance… Amazingly, despite the friendly, personal tone, I find that many complex terms and ideas are addressed.
—Prof. Peter Gresshoff, PhD DSc, World-renowned Researcher
in Genetics
One of the reasons I enjoyed the workbook is it seems to meet me where I’m at in terms of my needs. Helpful insights and well-put; effective with removing blocks instead of pushing harder. Very positive and real.

INTRODUCTION
Are you experiencing sleeplessness or restlessness at night, feeling moody, depressed, helpless or powerless, forgetting little things and having trouble concentrating, or just overwhelmed and isolated? Do you dream of feeling in control, balanced, alive and complete? You’re probably suffering from some type of anxiety and you’re not alone. More and more people, including increasingly younger ones, are finding themselves weighed down with a significant amount of stress and anxiety.
The Vision
As a professional counselling therapist, I developed Anxiety Re-patterning Therapy (ART) with over 25 years experience. In March 2020, the COVID pandemic changed life around the world. Based on ART, this workbook was developed as a response to the resulting rise in anxiety and panic. All parts of my innovative approach are grounded in scientific research. Yet my in-depth experience in the field is where I learned what works and what doesn’t. Over the course of my career, I found that many people suffer from anxiety for years without effective long-term treatment. I realized that something beyond mainstream therapy was needed.
My inquiry, over the course of my career, took me to the source of anxiety that lies in the subconscious. Currently, my program combines both conscious and subconscious techniques that work together for real and sustainable change. I have created this comprehensive workbook to help you understand the source of your anxiety and to support you in an adventure of discovery. Think of this process as your own Hero’s Journey. As you go deep within to identify what is really triggering your anxiety, you will find out who you really are beyond the conditioned, limiting walls of your psyche.
What is Anxiety Therapy at Home: Dancing with Your Shadow?
The program consists of a combination of therapeutic education, tools and strategies that emulate my professional counselling therapy and that I have found to work best. The workbook is set up as a self-guided and comprehensive sequence of stages. Each stage contains four stepping stones. Just like counselling therapy, your experience is one of peeling back layers of your psyche. It all takes time, patience, focus and commitment. For now, celebrate where you’re at — whatever that looks like.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
Carl Rogers
You are able to work through your process at your own pace and in the privacy of your own home. The incremental design helps you to experience the stages in a way that supports you in learning and integrating insights that yield healthy change. This comprehensive therapy program targets not only the conscious but also the underlying and hidden dimensions of anxiety and stress.
