I (Emilee) fell into a deep anxiety cycle December 2021 after a routine surgery. I woke up with chronic DPDR, panic attacks multiple times a day and a MILLION symptoms. This persisted for a very long time. I began searching for what the heck was going on and went from doctor to doctor looking for a cure only to get a bunch of non-answers. I kept spiraling downward and became extremely agoraphobic. I quit driving and was held captive to the panic -- I was not able to go into a grocery store and I could barely go in my backyard due to the constant adrenaline rushes and deep fear of the symptoms. It was not until I started practicing my response that I started to make progress. I have now coined the acronym IDEAL to help you begin to recover the same way that I have. This is not a "quick fix" -- there is no "quick fix" to anxiety recovery. You have to teach your brain that you are safe by practicing the proper response to your symptoms and thoughts and over time your body will desensitze and as you start to expand your bubble your confidence will grow. I do not subscribe to coping mechanisms, as they do not support long-term recovery -- the key to recovery is simply how you respond.

My husband, BG, has learned about anxiety and recovery alongside me during my journey and is great at offering Biblical knowledge, guiding spouses and family members on how to help their loved one recover and coaching on some practical life-style topics such as "boundaires", "eliminating hurry" and so much more!

Together, we will pair the science of the brain with Biblical truths to lead you towards full recovery and living a more abundant life.
