Generalised Anxiety

If you think of yourself as a "chronic worrier", you may be experiencing generalised anxiety. This is the most common form of anxiety, where you worry about a variety of issues, rather than anything specific. You may find your levels of worry are getting in the way of relationships, work, daily life or leisure.

what people who completed the course have shared

I wouldn't have had any treatment if it wasn't for this course, so thank you. My GP referred me to services, but at $180 per session - I just couldn't afford that. Then I found Just a Thought. I liked that it's about education and doing something tangible, and I got to learn on my own. I found this empowering.

I would like to thank you for making this course available. I have been told I would benefit from CBT many times, but because it's expensive to do, I haven't been able to get the help. I really appreciate the opportunity to do this course.

I learned things that were never offered to me in the past through my GP, psychologist and counsellor during in-person appointments. I found this course very helpful. I didn't want it to end!

I found some aspects emotionally challenging, like practicing 'graded exposure' and writing 'worry stories,' but was amazed at how effective they were!
