My Anxiety Cycle
Hi, I’m James.
For many years I suffered from persistent anxiety, facing daily challenges and symptoms that seemed impossible to overcome. It took me a long time to understand my illness and become aware of how I was unintentionally making myself worse, creating an anxiety cycle. I experienced many symptoms, including depersonalisation, panic attacks, generalised anxiety disorder, and more.

The pathway created for my recovery was so clear and easy to follow. It wasn’t about fighting anxiety, it was about understanding it. That shift changed everything for me.

I studied the subject of anxiety extensively and compulsively, constantly searching for a cure in the hopes of finally feeling better. Ironically, this relentless pursuit was making my anxiety worse and became a bad habit of constantly searching, questioning, and analysing. Through research into how our thoughts work, I developed a new habit to resist the urge of conscious negative thinking and scrambling for answers. I recognised that my bad habit of questioning triggered an anxiety cycle. Engaging in conscious negative thinking led to an adrenaline response, which made my symptoms flare up and would lead to more questioning again. By resisting the urge of conscious negative thinking, the anxiety cycle can be broken and the recovery process can begin.
In my website, book, and coaching, I describe how I developed a new habit that not only helped me recover from anxiety but also led to a happier, more fulfilling life. I gained confidence in handling everyday challenges naturally, without fearing a return of long-term anxiety. After my recovery, I started helping those close to me and soon realised that my personal experience, combined with years of research, could benefit a wider audience. As I started to coach more clients I studied for a qualification in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which provides different strategies to help teach my work.
Today, I’m passionate about helping others by first guiding them to understand what anxiety is and what causes it. I then focus on raising awareness of how habits are formed through our conscious thought patterns. By understanding and making changes over time, we can create new habits that break the long term anxiety cycle.
