The DARE Team's Journey Through Anxiety

DARE Founder Barry McDonagh along with DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco engage in a personal discussion about their experiences with anxiety as part of DARE's newest evidence-based guided program - DARE Academy.

Michelle shares her struggle, recalling moments of claustrophobia, nausea, and difficulty breathing that led to her avoiding situations. She explains how her anxiety often centered around her stomach and feeling trapped, which persisted for years.

Barry discusses his childhood anxiety, the panic attack he experienced in a church, and how he gradually exposed himself to anxiety-inducing situations, using techniques he eventually compiled in the "Panic Away" book. He reflects on his journey to recovery, emphasizing the importance of not fearing anxiety and the empowering feeling of regaining control.

Aida also contributes her story, describing how a panic attack in an MRI escalated into avoidance behaviors and mental distress. She highlights the pivotal moment when she found the DARE book, recognizing it as the missing puzzle piece in her recovery process.

The trio underscores the idea that anxiety can take different forms for different people, but the common thread is the transformative potential of the DARE method taught in the DARE Academy in achieving lasting freedom from anxiety.
