My name is Shaan, and I'm here to help you overcome anxiety.
Many years ago, I was plagued by it. All of the symptoms were there... I was so overwhelmed by dread I couldn't leave my house. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. It felt like my whole body was falling apart.
Doctors couldn't really do anything to help me, and I was starting to get desperate.
I thought it was going to last forever. But I was wrong.
Whatever strength I had left, I focused on only one goal. Getting better.
Over the years, I've studied anxiety, panic attacks, depersonalization, and derealization and developed a method that not only saved me but has also helped me save many others from the brink of despair.
So, if you feel like you're stuck in a bad place and immobilized by fear, I'm here to tell you that it gets better. You can get through this. And I hope that each video I share here gets you one step closer to your recovery.
You are not alone.
