Anxiety Decoder
Most anxiety tools ask how much anxiety a client has. This one asks what that anxiety is protecting.
What the Anxiety Decoder is
The Decoder is built on one idea: anxiety isn't the pathology, it's a protection system. So instead of measuring how much anxiety someone has, it helps them see what drives it, what keeps it going, and what needs healing at the source.
Clients move through six guided steps and finish with a personal formulation they can save and bring to session.
