A Natural Anxiety Treatment Program
Developed By Jon Terrell, M.A.

Anxious? Looking for natural anxiety treatment solutions instead of drugs? Here’s what to look for.

Body symptoms of anxiety can include:

• Shortness of breath 
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Tension 
• Sweaty palms
• Dizziness or unsteadiness
• Upset stomach, nausea
• Tingly sensations

Mind reactions can include:

• Fear of going out of control
• Feeling detached or out of touch
• Confusion
• Poor memory
• Worry, fear of going crazy or dying
• Racing thoughts
• A natural anxiety treatment program can reduce or eliminate these symptoms. 

According to Edward Bourne, author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, an effective program must address 3 levels – physical, behavioral and psychological. It must help you reduce your physical reactions, improve your mental responses to those reactions (what you say to yourself) and help you stop avoiding situations that you’ve avoided in the past because of anxiety.
