Lie back.Listen.Recover.
Thirty-four sessions. Listen in order. Nothing to practise, nothing to track.
If anxiety has made your world smaller, this is for you.
You may wake already checking how you feel. A sensation appears—and within seconds you are monitoring it, questioning it, or trying to make it stop.
You may avoid places, search for reassurance, rehearse conversations, fear being alone, or wonder why you cannot simply think your way out of it.
Even during calm moments, part of you may be waiting for anxiety to return.
You might recognise yourself here
- You wake up and its immediately there.
- Your day has become organised around avoiding anxiety.
- You constantly monitor sensations, thoughts, or surroundings.
- Reassurance helps briefly, but the fear returns.
- You understand logically that you are safe, but do not feel safe.
- You are tired of techniques becoming another daily task.
If this feels familiar, STAND DOWN was created for you.
However you experience anxiety —through panic, OCD, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, phobias, derealisation, constant vigilance or any other way—the sense of 'alarm' becomes the centre of your life.
We know why and how to switch it off.

The goal is not to become better at managing anxiety.
It is for anxiety to stop managing your life.
Imagine noticing a sensation without immediately fearing it.
Leaving home without calculating how quickly you could return.
Listening to a conversation instead of monitoring your body.
Going through an ordinary day without anxiety being the main event.
You don’t have to perform anything while you listen.
You may already have tried counselling, medication, supplements, exposure, tapping, EMDR, homework, breathing drills, or talking about your anxiety again.
STAND DOWN asks you to listen from the beginning, in order. The change comes from understanding the mechanism, not from performing an exercise correctly.

Designed to help you return to your baseline.
Sensations feel less threatening
The aim is to help you understand what your body is doing, so sensations stop feeding the cycle.
Less monitoring & checking
By breaking the fear link, the need to constantly check your physical or mental state naturally reduces.
Confidence in the alarm
Gain a deep understanding of what to do when the alarm rises, allowing you to stop fighting it.
More attention for ordinary life
As the threat response settles, mental bandwidth is freed up for work, relationships, and living.
