You are in the right place to get one of - if not the most- effective tools I’ve found to stop anxiety in its tracks.
I am Dr. Nicole Cain and I’ve been helping people resolve anxiety, depression and PTSD for over a decade by getting to the source and addressing core issues rather than relying on addictive medications or expensive long term therapy. As a former anxiety sufferer myself, I realize that once you decide to do something about anxiety and its impact on your life - there is a sense of urgency, right? There’s this desire for change NOW, isn’t there?
That’s the reason I’m excited to share the 4 step process of Somatographic Imagery with you TODAY in this masterclass. It’s a tool you can implement immediately - which provides relief in the NOW. That would be helpful, right? AND BONUS... it also works to retrain your brain the more you use it. Make sense? This process will help you right away when you need it AND the more you use it the less you’ll need it because you’re literally rewiring the neural networks in your brain. If you’re seeing the power in that say YES to yourself so we get that brain of yours tuned in and trying some new things.
You are going to learn 4 things today:
* How to stop anxiety on command.
* How to retrain your brain away from anxious patterning.
* How to create new neural pathways of your choosing.
* How to get faster results using a technique called Somatographic Imagery.
Thanks so much for joining me!

15. Conquering Insomnia, Anxiety, and Sleep-Related Issues, Part 2
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
When you’re dealing with a serious mountain of stress, overwhelm, and your head is geared towards anxiety; there are two camps: The MEDICATION CAMP and the MENDING CAMP. If you’re taking medications, that’s great, I’m a doctor and I appreciate that sometimes medications are necessary, but I don’t want you to think that medications negate mending.
Mending is where you actually get to the bottom of why you’re anxious to begin with. It’s putting a comma at the end of the sentence. The true path to mending is to address what’s going on. It’s understanding all of your cast of characters and it’s finding your path for transcendence.
That is what mending means to me. It’s about you getting your life back.
If this is interesting to you, then I urge you to take it for a test drive. If you resonate with this paradigm at all, then let’s do this. The reason behind the name of the ACT Method is that it requires ACTION. It requires you stepping out of the pill-for-an-ill, or supplement-for-a-symptom models for treating anxiety, and actually picking up the pencil and doing the work.
The best part of all this is that in the long term, the ACT method will save you TIME, and MONEY, and actually help you LIVE the life you’ve always wanted.
If you struggle with anxiety, lying awake at 3 am while the rest of the world is asleep, or dealing with chronic muscle tension, headaches, or digestive upset, it’s time to turn the page.
If you’ve been feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, and afraid for what your future will look like if you don’t get a handle on your stress, it’s time to write your next ACT.
Imagine what it’d be like to fall asleep without handfuls of pills.
Imagine a life where you feel calm and confident.
Imagine being able to show up for your loved ones and be fully present and fulfilled.
It’s time to do an audit of the messages you’ve been receiving regarding what you should be expecting in anxiety recovery. You can feel like yourself again. You can enjoy hope, power, and even freedom.

14. The Anxiety Thyroid Connection (As Explained by an Integrative Doctor)
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Friday Jul 17, 2020
If you struggle with anxiety, I want you to know: There is another solution. You don’t have to feel like this.
With every symptom, it is absolutely essential to consider the root cause. Without investigating the root-cause we cannot find comfort in a cure. Just like if you kick the dresser and stub your toe every morning, no matter how much aspirin you take, you will never enjoy a pain-free toe—that is, unless you stop kicking the dresser.
Similarly, if you do not look for the root cause of your anxiety, you may never enjoy the possibility of freedom until you investigate the cause.
While causes vary from person to person, for example: trauma, medication side effect, stress in the home or work place, there may biological causes of your symptoms.
Today we’re going to talk about one important biological cause of anxiety, and that’s imbalances in your thyroid health.

13. 7 Powerful Stress Stopping Skills: Falling Down the Well
Thursday Jul 09, 2020
Thursday Jul 09, 2020
If you’re ready to win the battle against anxiety, lack of self-confidence, sleepless nights, and turn the page in the pill-for-an-ill model, you’re in the right place. Our passion is to help you get your life back. You deserve freedom, you are worthy of living the life you were meant to, and you can make small changes that get you big results in a short amount of time.
Welcome to my podcast I’m Dr Nicole Cain a Naturopathic Doctor with a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a former anxiety sufferer turned Anxiety Freedom Rebel.
Today we’re going to talk about how to go deep without losing yourself in the process. You are going to learn 7 powerful skills for stopping anxiety BEFORE it takes center stage.
So, without further ado, let’s get started.
The first thing I want to say is that above all else, you must trust your inner self. Since we were born, we have been trained to obey others, and in doing so, we so too often turn away from ourselves. Instead of being raised to listen to our intuition, trust our gut instincts, and honor our personal limits—even and especially when they are uncomfortable or inconvenient to others—we are told to walk in a straight line, be good “Victorian children” (seen and not heard), and to comply with the rules of the house, the city, the state, your country and even God.
When untethered, this kind of mentality can be dangerous, and even fatal, to the fire that you were given at conception.
In the 17th to 19th centuries, the Age of Enlightenment, otherwise known as the Age of Reason or Renaissance humanism emerged. This movement carried with it the work of Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton, and other philosophic thinkers.
Paving the way for political revolutions with a centrality on "sovereignty of reason," liberty, and rejecting the former philosophies of absolute monarchy and dogmatism—this renaissance forever changed the fundamental expectations of human thought and in part, served as a springboard for modern day thinkers like Danielle Laporte, Elizabeth Gilbert and Glennon Doyle.

12. Conquering Insomnia, Anxiety, and Sleep-Related Issues, Part 1.
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people declare: “You know, sleep is really important, you should really work on getting a good night’s sleep.”
When I hear that I want to smack them across the side of the head and shout: “What a good idea! Wish I had thought of that!”
But then I take a breath, count to four, and exhale on four counts, and thank my prefrontal cortex for preventing me from having an outburst when someone is simply trying to be kind and helpful.
But if you’re listening to this, it probably means that you, like myself, struggle with sleep. And I’d be willing to venture that helpful advice like what we just heard, doesn’t help.
Instead, it reminds you how powerless and frustrated you feel every single night when you get into bed and lay awake counting sheep while the rest of the world snoozes away.
The good news is that you can sleep again and I’m going to show you how.
