Marla Genova has worked with hundreds of people with social anxiety and/or public speaking phobias for 15 years through facilitating support groups, weekend workshops, and coaching.

With these experiences, she has learned what helps and hinders others. Marla will teach you how to change your anxious thought patterns by co-creating action plans to gradually accept and face your fears.

She focuses on accepting the feelings of anxiety. She encourages people to neutralize the anxiety by allowing it to exist.

Your specific needs will be met, you won’t be judged and you won’t feel alone anymore. The healing experience of sharing is crucial for your progress.

Take it from someone who truly understands what you’re going through, has lived it, and has seen hundreds of others overcome their fears to lead a more fulfilling life. The only thing required of you is to be ready for change and commit to working on it.

Beating yourself up over your past anxiety experiences may seem like deserved punishment that will somehow push you into action. If you’re defining yourself by your past and keep looking back at your false negative thoughts and outcomes, you will continue to repeat the vicious cycle of your self-fulfilling prophecy.

Although we do need to learn from our past and grow from mistakes we’ve made, we must be conscious of our forward future thinking. Instead of being defined by your past experiences, you can take control of who you want to be.

One helpful way to start taking positive action is to create a gradual hierarchy while using these worksheets to rationalize automatic anxiety thoughts to quickly make progress.
