Anxiety is the new depression.

An estimated 40 million Americans, about 18 percent of the population over the age of 18, struggle with anxiety, including more than half of all American college students.

So that should make you feel better.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older, or 18.1 percent of the population every year.

Only about a third of those suffering anxiety get treatment, meaning that millions struggle with daily worries and fears without respite.

Many of these people cannot afford traditional talk therapy on a regular basis, or have access to medical prescriptions, and need solutions… like YESTERDAY.

So what’s the deal?

Alarmist news. Threats of war. Division. Recessions. Social media fights. #MeToo triggers. Family. Responsibility. Career. Future. Does it every end? and more importantly…

On Today’s Show

I am thrilled to introduce you to my phenomenal guest, Corinne Zupko, the author of the new revolutionary book, From Anxiety to Love: A Radical New Approach for Letting Go of Fear and Finding Lasting Peace (New World Library, February 14, 2018).

From Anxiety to Love helps readers learn to undo anxiety-based thinking by internalizing the teachings of ACIM, fostering mindful shifts in their thoughts and actions, and connecting to their Inner Therapist, the deeply gratifying, enormously comforting inner voice that affirms our safe oneness with the universe rather than our ego’s perception of danger and separation.

Whether struggling with everyday stress or near-crippling discomfort, today’s show will show you new ways to heal from–rather than just coping with– fear and anxiety.

About our Guest

Meet Corinne!

Author Corinne Zupko, a licensed counselor and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher, undertook her study of psychology out of necessity when debilitating anxiety threatened to derail her life. Seeking ways to do more than temporarily alleviate her symptoms, Corinne began to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM), mindfulness meditation, and the latest therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety.

As Corinne healed her own mental anguish, she compiled the perception-shifting process she describes in the enclosed advance reading copy of From Anxiety to Love: A Radical New Approach for Letting Go of Fear and Finding Lasting Peace (New World Library, February 14, 2018).

Corinne Zupko, EdS, LPC, is the author of From Anxiety to Love. As a licensed counselor and keynote speaker, she has helped thousands of individuals through her one-on-one counseling, weekly meditation classes for corporations, and the largest virtual conference of ACIM in the world, through the organization Miracle Share International, which she cofounded. She lives in New Jersey. Visit her online!

About the Book

“My anxiety journey was one of the worst, most terrifying experiences of my life. Yet once I allowed it to become my greatest teacher, it also became one of the best,” writes Corinne. “My anxiety brought me to greater inner peace than I ever thought I could experience, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful. I hope this book will help you be grateful for your anxiety, too, because anxiety is a call to awakening and can start you on a pathway toward love and inner peace.”

From Anxiety to Love goes beyond fixing the symptoms of anxiety and focuses instead on healing the problem at its root by offering practical strategies designed to help readers shift the fundamental way they perceive the world. In Part 1, Corinne explores our collective descent into anxiety. In part 2, she presents healing steps and perception shifts that can help readers ascend out of anxiety, including journal prompts, thought-provoking exercises, meditations, mind-strengthening mantras, and more. In part 3, she puts it all together and examines practical techniques for dealing with the many ways that anxiety shows up in daily life.

“If you use this book with an open mind and adopt an attitude of ‘I don’t know’ rather than clinging to what you think you already know, you will create space for new insights to come to you. Willingness to learn new ideas is key, and any voice that tells you you’ll never succeed is not your real voice,” writes Corinne, who goes on to offer practical steps inspired by the healing processes in A Course in Miracles that readers can use to work through anxiety, navigate difficult relationships, and resolve any other problem that might be bothering them.
