Hello everyone! 📚✨

We’re excited to announce a Part 2 for those who didn’t complete the book in the first gathering, as well as for anyone who wants to share the positive impacts they've experienced from applying the skills in the book to their lives! 😊 Join us for another inspiring session! I am hearing that it will be good to split the book in half so we can really digest it together and share. Please read up to chapter Chapter 9.

You are welcome to have your camera off and to just listen - We will all be fostering a safe space.

We'll be discussing Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks: by Barry McDonagh
I am personally going to try the audiobook, but you are welcome to read it anyway you like ! :)

The book is structured to be practical and user-friendly. It starts with an exploration of anxiety, explaining how it manifests and why traditional methods might not always be effective. McDonagh then introduces the Dare method, which stands for:

• Defuse: Acknowledge and refuse to let the anxiety control you.
• Accept: Embrace the anxiety rather than fighting against it.
• Run Toward: Move towards the fear instead of avoiding it.
• Endure: Accept the feelings and remain persistent.

McDonagh provides actionable advice and exercises designed to help readers apply these principles in their daily lives. His approach is both motivational and empowering, aiming to transform the way people perceive and deal with anxiety.
