Understanding that anxiety is primarily a fear-based emotion, the first aim of Self Therapy is to boost your tolerance levels for the feelings you're avoiding, including anxiety. The reason for this is that anxiety grows from our desire to avoid the feelings associated with certain activities. Essentially, anxiety is FEAR of certain feelings, including anxiety sensations themselves. So when you learn to boost your tolerance level for experiencing the feelings and sensations you're avoiding, anxiety itself actually dissolves. In other words, a major key to conquering anxiety is to embrace it.

But the benefits of Self Therapy go beyond just anxiety reduction. A rich and full life is achieved by living on the full spectrum of human emotion, and in learning Self Therapy you'll greatly expand your ability to do that. To feel the desirable emotions like joy, we must be able to feel and go through the lower ones. An unfortunate quality of many anxiety and depression treating drugs is that while they may eliminate emotional lows, they often dull the highs as well. Achieving inner harmony involves increasing tolerance for all emotions to a point where none can stop you from moving forward. This is the ultimate objective of my "Self Therapy".
