About this course

This course demystifies anxiety using modern neuroscience and gives you practical, research-backed techniques drawn from CBT, ACT, and somatic therapy. You will move from understanding the fight-or-flight cycle to applying grounding exercises, relaxation protocols, and thought-defusion skills in real situations. Note: this course is for general education and self-help purposes only — it is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
