The CHAANGE program is divided into four phases.  The first phase defines anxiety conditions, tells you how and why they likely developed for you, and describes what happens in your body when you experience anxiety.

The second phase teaches you how to relax your body to counteract the tension that anxiety produces.  You will be given anxiety relaxation exercises which we encourage you to practice until they become automatic.

The third and fourth phases will teach you thinking, attitude, belief and behavior skills that will change your current non-productive anxious patterns and, in effect, turn your life around.

You can arrange weekly shipments of the anxiety treatment program sessions.

If you are interested, but feel you'd also like the anxiety support and guidance you get from a therapist as you go through the program, you can have regularly scheduled telephone consultations with us for as long as necessary to reach your goal.

WE PROVIDE ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED 
With regular updates, the concepts and methods of CHAANGE have been refined to reflect the latest thinking in the field. When you enroll in the program, we provide you with the following materials over the course of the 16 weekly sessions:

We also provide you with the  exCHAANGE, our monthly newsletter.  We include periodic anxiety evaluation forms for you, which help us monitor your progress.  With CHAANGE, we are your partner as you move from anxiety to freedom.
