A.I.M. Supporting Anxious Individuals for 25 years  I write my affirmations daily, and my thoughts are changed!
 View My Guestbook  Time for School  School was something that I did not look forward to, at all. It was not that I slow learner, but I was plagued with the "what ifs?" What if the teacher calls on me? What if I have to do a presentation in front of the whole class? What if I don't make any friends? What if, what if, what if? When I was done what if-ing, I had set up a scenario that made it difficult to go to school, at all. As with all fears, a school phobia is dealt with in a behavioral/cognitve venue, which is basically what AIM teaches. The same tools will work. If you are interested in starting a Kids AIM group, call the office and leave a message. (248-547-0400) We will gladly help you get started...

November is the month of gratitude. Maybe you think that you have nothing to be thankful for, having an anxiety disorder. BUT, I beg to differ! You can be thankful for anxiety! It puts a whole new spin on anxiety when you are thankful for having it. First of all, anxiety reminds you that you are alive! Now that is the something to be grateful about!

AIM
is a support
group
organization
for people
suffering with any type of anxiety disorder. Although
everyone
has fears,
and
everyone
has anxiety, over 20 million people
(with anxiety disorders), find
that they are
affected to the degree that
their life is immobilized...they
just can't be sure if they will be able to walk out the door,
or
do any of the things that they need to do.. Our fear is very real, but the reason for the fear resides in our thinking and behaviors. We,that have this condition, are highly intelligent, people-pleasing, friendly, etc. The problem lies in interpreting events and bodily symptoms in a catastrophic way, making our world appear unsafe. Once we learn to see our world as being safe, friendly, and positive, we begin to live the life we deserve. PEOPLE FEEL THE WAY THEY THINK. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS...CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL! u.Shallow breathing may lead to increased anxiety and even panic attacks. Some people theorize that improper breathing is the entire cause of panic attacks. In any case, learning proper breathing techniques may not only benefit you as a relaxation exercise, you may feel a sense of calm overall if you learn to breathe properly. <> Take a look at our website to discover more, or better yet, join us at one of our meetings!
