The Paradox
What if everything you thought you knew about anxiety was wrong? Here we explore the paradox that anxiety presents us with: that we can actually enlist anxiety as an ally in preserving our well-being. Anxiety can lead us to the path to experience relief and ease. Counter-intuitive but incredibly powerful when we learn how to safely converse with the "monster". 

Cultivating Self Trust
Often times anxiety erodes the trust we have in ourselves that we are able to get through challenging times. It can feel like the discomfort of anxiety will never end, that we don't have what it takes to quiet our minds, that worry is inescapable, that we can't endure the suffering we feel, much less that relief is possible or even probable. In this module, we invite a conversation about developing and reconnecting with a sense of self trust, a belief that we are able to weather the storm, we are able to problem solve, we can survive the difficulties we are currently experiencing, we have it in ourselves to brave the journey and reunite with a sense of hope that relief is on the horizon.

Creating Relief Lines
This section develops your inherent capacity to experience relief from anxiety. We will take you through brief guided practices so that you can experiment for yourself with how to access relief.

True Resilience
We all have resilience, we just have to recognize and access it. We lose access to our resilience because of cultural programming and conditioning - the beliefs perpetuated directly or indirectly around us. Unknowingly or unintentionally, our workplaces, families and other institutions give us unhelpful and ineffective messaging about resilience. In this module, we point you in the direction of what it means to have true resilience. 

The Appropriateness of Anxiety
Often times anxiety makes us feel crazy. Let us reassure you, you are not crazy. You are a human being having a human experience. And your experience may be appropriate given the circumstances you find yourself in. Sometimes, anxiety may be calling you towards finding safety from inappropriate or harmful behaviours of others. Anxiety may be calling you towards identifying your values and determining whether legal culture or the culture at large is supporting them. In this section we hope to acknowledge the direct or implicit experiences that contribute and grow anxiety among legal professionals. 

Expanding Beyond Survival
Many of us, knowingly or unknowingly, are living just to survive. Survival is an inborn instinct and not something to judge or shun, but rather part of the collective human experience, or any organism's journey for that matter. When we relate to our survival instincts with understanding and compassion, even lightheartedness, we are able to access other dimensions of being human, beyond survival. We are able to access compassion, creativity, stillness or ease, awe and wonder. Every moment that we recognize our fear, anxiety or discomfort, with understanding, is a moment where our true resilience and expansive capacities are possible.
