      The Anxiety Reset Workbook - Gregory L. Jantz Ph.D.

      INTRODUCTION

      A Path of Peace

      I don’t sleep at night because I can’t turn off my racing brain.

      I constantly worry about the future. Where will I end up? What will the world be like for my kids?

      When people talk about peace of mind, I can’t imagine what that’s like—I’m stressed out every day.

      My anxiety is like a bag of bricks I drag around every day. I’m weighed down by so many worries!

      Sound familiar? You’ve probably said things like this yourself or had similar thoughts slither around in your mind like a venomous snake.

      There’s certainly a long list of things to feel anxious about: job security, tight finances, health concerns, political unrest, and relationship discord—and feeling anxious in stressful situations is normal and hard to avoid. Most people feel anxious when starting a new job, enduring an audit from the IRS, or giving a speech. Who wouldn’t?

      But for increasing numbers of people, anxiety is a persistent burden, a debilitating presence that impacts performance and quality of life on a daily basis. In fact, social scientists have labeled our modern era The Age of Anxiety. With so much brainpower and creativity in our society, I’m sure we’d prefer to be known for living in the age of opportunity . . . or prosperity . . . or innovation. But the fact is, anxiety and anxiety disorders are on the rise.

      A recent article in Medical News Today began by saying, For many, anxiety is an ever-present uninvited guest; in our circle of friends, among family members, and in communities at large. It seems to be rampaging through society like a noncontagious cognitive plague, forming a low-level hum that hides in the corners of our collective minds.[1]

      No one is immune to the havoc and hardship caused by unrelenting anxiety, and that includes people we consider to be successful, accomplished, and highly regarded. Anxiety does not just affect people struggling with unemployment, financial troubles, serious illness, or legal problems. Anxiety is an equal-opportunity troublemaker, laying siege to people across the economic, professional, religious, and age spectrum.

      Living with anxiety, panic disorders, or phobias may cause people to feel that their lives are spiraling downward, robbing them of joy and contentment. It doesn’t need to be this way! Throughout my book The Anxiety Reset—and in the pages of this companion workbook—my message has been consistent:

      Anxiety may not be avoidable, but it is manageable.

      Anxiety may be present in your life, but it does not have to dominate your life.

      Anxiety may temporarily cause you distress, but it does not have to constantly cause you despair.

      Even in our furiously fast-paced and worrisome world, you can live a more peaceful, purposeful, and productive life. You can be free from thoughts, feelings, and habits that drag you down rather than lift you up. You can learn to draw the life-numbing poison out of your past pain, present problems, and future fear.

      I am not giving you a pep talk or offering snappy slogans to help you feel better momentarily. The last thing you need is advice that rings hollow or bromides that promise much and deliver little. If you’ve been struggling with anxiety for any length of time, you have likely heard all kinds of recommendations that didn’t bring you much improvement. Worse, you’ve probably heard plenty of clichés from well-meaning (but unhelpful) people: Just let it go . . . This too shall pass . . . Hold on to your faith.

      As a matter of fact, I know that learning to manage anxiety takes patience, dogged determination, courage to confront painful issues, openness to new ideas, and a commitment to change long-standing patterns of behavior.

      Another essential element is needed to overcome chronic anxiety: hope.

      In my three decades as a mental health professional, I have counseled thousands of people who needed help coping with pain and fear of every kind: anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, addiction, and the emotional scars of physical and psychological abuse. Early in my career, I was often dismayed by the epic scope of battles people waged within themselves and the elusive struggle to achieve true healing. It seemed to me that lasting wellness was a treasure many seek but few ever find.

      Then I realized something vital. Many of the hurting people I counseled were eager—or desperate—to overcome their troubles but lacked the key ingredient of hope. By the time these people began therapy with me or sought treatment at the clinic I direct, they had lived with their condition for so long and had tried so many unfruitful treatment options that optimism had all but vanished. Distress and anxiety, usually caused by a variety of factors, were compounded by a fundamental lack of hopefulness and confidence that anything would ever change.

      This led me to make hope a cornerstone of all the therapy, speaking, writing, research, and treatment planning I do. In 2014, we changed the name of our Seattle-area treatment facility after clients said, This is a place of hope. That’s exactly what we wanted, and thus the name stuck. We are now called The Center: A Place of Hope. My team and I also adopted Jeremiah 29:11-14 as our clinic’s guiding Scripture passage:

      I know the plans I have for you, declares the L

      ORD

      , plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the L

      ORD

      , and will bring you back from captivity.

      I encourage you to reflect on these life-changing words and embrace them as your touchstone as you pursue your own emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. After all, persistently anxious people often feel that they are in captivity of sorts—trapped and immobilized by a force bigger than themselves. But God will indeed bring you back. Anxiety-ridden people often do not feel enthusiastic about the future, if they can envision one at all. But God will help you renew your dreams and refresh your energy to achieve them.

      As foundational as hope is to true healing, there are many other indispensable steps to take on the journey. And these steps form the twelve weeks of exercises, assessments, and reflections in the pages ahead. In addition to the need for hope, I realized something else many years ago: most anxiety treatments focus on one technique to address a complex mental health conundrum. Care providers tend to use their favorite method as a singular fix to a disorder that is never caused by one thing alone. Most frequently, this means taking anti-anxiety medication, seeing a counselor for talk therapy, starting a specialized diet regimen, or participating in cognitive behavioral therapy.

      While each of these individual approaches can be helpful and sometimes needed, I believe that lasting healing occurs through a whole-person, multifaceted approach. In my experience, anxiety always arises from multiple factors
