There's no quick fix, but this gave me the understanding and tools I never got anywhere else. I finally knew what was happening and how to respond.
I can hike again, go to concerts, lift weights at the gym… I thought I'd never be able to do those things again. Now I do them every day. I'm so grateful.
I can not be more optimistic about life now and life to come. I am only on week five and I already feel strong and confident about myself and anxiety!!
I have had anxiety my entire adult life. I've tried cognitive behavioral therapy, read books, meditated etc. and this is the first effective modality that is leading to real healing.
Rather than an outsider trying to help, here was someone who had faced the same issues as me. I now face anxiety with greater understanding.

The anxiety loop
What started your anxiety is usually not what keeps it going. A loop does. Walk through it step by step and see where you are right now.
Tap any step in the cycle to see what happens
Keeps anxiety goingStep 1 of 4
It starts with something you feel
A racing heart, a dizzy spell, an intrusive thought, a crowded store. Anything can start it.
The sensation itself is not the problem. It's unpleasant, but harmless. What decides whether it grows is what you do next.
Keeps anxiety goingStep 2 of 4
You try to make it go away
You don't like how it feels, so you try to fix it. Almost everyone does this, because it's what we've been told to do:
Many of these are fine on their own. The problem is doing them to get rid of anxiety.
Keeps anxiety goingStep 3 of 4
Threat confirmed
Your nervous system is a surveillance system. It's always watching what you do.
When it sees you fight, avoid or escape a feeling, it concludes there must be real danger: threat confirmed. So it "helps" the only way it can: more adrenaline and cortisol.
You stay on high alert and your system becomes sensitized. More symptoms, more easily.
Keeps anxiety goingStep 4 of 4
In your ability to deal with it
Every fix that works for a moment quietly teaches you that you can't handle anxiety on your own.
So you look for the next external fix, and the next symptom starts the loop again. You're no longer afraid of the store or the plane. You're afraid of the fear you might feel there.
That's the fear of fear cycle.
Breaks the loopStep 1 of 4
They still come, less often
Anxiety still shows up now and then. That's part of being human. But it comes less often and with less force.
What changed is the one thing you can control: your response.
Breaks the loopStep 2 of 4
You let it be there
When anxiety shows up, you stop fighting it. You allow it, however it shows up and for as long as it wants. Not as a trick to make it leave, but because you know it can't hurt you.
This is behavior, which means it's a skill. Like riding a bike, you learn it with time and repetition, and the program walks you through it step by step.
Breaks the loopStep 3 of 4
Safety confirmed
Your nervous system is still watching. Now it sees you stay, allow and carry on.
It concludes the sensation is OK: unpleasant, but not dangerous. Safety confirmed. The alarm quiets down, your body returns to calm and desensitizes. Your body wants to be calm by nature.
Breaks the loopStep 4 of 4
In your ability to deal with it
You notice you don't need to breathe it away, escape it or take something for it. You can handle it yourself.
That confidence takes the fear out of the next symptom, so it has less to grab onto. The loop starts working for you.

Meet Jort Kamphuis
After losing my mother and stepdad in a car crash, I spiraled into daily panic attacks and became housebound.
Five therapists gave me coping tools, but I was still stuck, still scared of my own symptoms. Then I found a different approach: one that stopped the fight and helped me rewire my response. It changed everything.
Today, I live free from anxiety and I've helped thousands do the same.
Is this for you?
The program
16 weeks of structure, people and support
A step-by-step course is only half of it. Recovery sticks when you practice with people who guide you and people who get it.
Bring your questions, hear how others handle theirs, and get direct feedback from mentors who recovered themselves.
Tyler
Hi all, I’m wondering what acceptance would look like practically on a day when I wake up with a lot of fear and anxiety. On these days, the mornings are really tough and I wake up exhausted
Mirka Mentor
Great question, Tyler. On those mornings, acceptance doesn’t mean you have to feel OK. It means letting the fear and the tiredness be there, without trying to fix them first. Get up, make your coffee and let your body do its thing while you go about your morning. You don’t have to wait until you feel better to start your day.
Post in the community and a mentor replies to you, not with a template. You're never left guessing what to do next.

After the program
Recovery doesn't mean you never feel anxious again. It means anxiety no longer frightens you or runs your life.
"I started small, just grocery trips, and ended up flying to New York, traveling, living again."

Your free call
A calm, one-on-one conversation with someone who recovered through our program. You'll leave with a clear picture of your own anxiety loop, whether you join or not.
We ask about your current situation: what anxiety looks like for you and how it affects your days.
Therapy, medication, breathing, books. We look at what helped, what didn't, and why.
We map your specific situation onto the anxiety loop, so you see what keeps it going and what can break it.
Plan it for a moment when you can give it your full attention.
Got questions?
The call takes 45 to 60 minutes and you talk with someone who recovered through our program.
We ask about your current situation and what you have already tried. Then we show you where you are in the anxiety loop, based on your own situation. Most people leave the call with a clearer picture of what keeps their anxiety going, whether they join or not.
Please plan the call for a moment when you can give it your full attention.
That's common. Many of our students say this is the first approach that actually clicked, because it teaches you to respond differently, not just cope.
Yes. The approach is built for people stuck in the anxiety loop, whether it shows up as panic attacks, health anxiety, agoraphobia, intrusive thoughts, driving anxiety, social anxiety, sleep anxiety, DP/DR or any of the other 50+ forms of anxiety.
Anxiety shows up in many ways, but what's common is how we deal with it: we focus on the symptoms and try to get rid of them. We fear the fear itself. Nearly all forms of anxiety call for a similar approach and basic knowledge.
There are a few types of anxiety where the method is less effective, such as specific phobias and PTSD.
We don't teach you to "stay calm." We teach you to rewire your response so anxiety stops showing up in the first place. We teach you the language of the nervous system, so you show your own survival mechanism that you're safe and it can let go. You get your confidence back and your trust in your body, and you keep this knowledge forever.
Yes. If you complete the full program and feel it didn't deliver, we give you every penny back.
"Complete" means you watched all modules and did the exercises, attended at least 6 of the 48 live group calls, posted at least 4 questions or messages in the community, and asked for help when you got stuck. Read the full guarantee.
Yes. The method is behavioral and educational, so it works alongside therapy. Quite a few participants combine the two, and it can speed up progress. If you take medication, that's fine as long as you are able to learn. Always talk to your doctor before changing medication.
