Anxiety is basically a helpful natural protection mechanism. It warns us of actual or potential danger and therefore enables us to prepare ourselves for staying safe. It releases adrenaline into our bloodstream to trigger the ‘fight or flight’ response that enables us to either use the boost of energy it brings to deal with the situation or to escape from it.

However, in modern times, excessive anxiety has become a common problem for many people. For some it is a minor nuisance at times that brings about difficulties in certain circumstances. However, for others it can be so severe and so constant as to be extremely debilitating making many aspects of life very difficult to handle.

This course clarifies the nature of anxiety and how it works in terms of the processes involved. It also explores the processes that can lead to anxiety moving from being a helpful protective mechanism to a problem that can, in some cases, ruin people’s lives.

So, whether you are interested in learning how to more effectively manage your own anxiety or be supportive of others who struggle with anxiety, this course offers a sound basis of understanding that should enable you to improve your knowledge, skills and confidence.

• This course will be of value to anyone who wishes to support people who experience anxiety-related problems (whether in their personal lives or a work context) and/or to be better equipped to manage their own anxiety
