It is your first aid kit in the instances of emotional upheaval or a personal/work challenge.
This is a professional support available to you anytime to help deal with challenging times, difficult situations and events that you can’t control.
Dr Kasia Wilk, Counselling Psychologist, will guide you every step of the way with proven strategies that she has used to help hundreds of her private practice clients. She has been working with stressed professionals for many years and she designed this comprehensive video toolkit to help more professionals increase self-awareness and learn self-control over their mental and emotional states.
Dr Wilk is also an entrepreneur who has founded a film-making company that produces interactive films in order to help people make better choices in their lives. Building a company is a process that requires a huge amount of resilience. So everything Dr Wilk teaches you here she also uses in her own life in order to reach her goals and aspirations.

You may especially benefit from this Online Toolkit if:

- You have difficulty sleeping
- You experience panic attacks
- You experience regular intrusive thoughts
- Your mind wants to know what will happen constantly when you are faced with uncertainty
- You procrastinate with taking action on the things that seem challenging or require effort.
You may have found yourself in a position where you already tried to deal with these feelings on your own, but nothing has worked.
You keep experiencing the same feelings of anxiety and fear over and over again. It’s impacting your work performance, relationships and your level of happiness.
After working with Dr Wilk’s Online Toolkit:

-You are going to learn how to have more control over your mindset and thoughts so they empower you rather than hold you back
-You will develop more self-awareness that gives you power to step outside the vicious circle of anxiety
-You are going to learn how to be with an emotion of anxiety and understand the message it gives you.
You can use this toolkit while also seeing a therapist/counsellor.
Although you may learn similar or different concepts/strategies for dealing with anxiety with your therapist, the work can be very much enhanced through utilising this guide at the same time. We will be drawing from psychological models of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Mindfulness theories.
Dr Kasia Wilk is looking forward to being with you every step of the way and in guiding you in your personal journey of transformation!

lessonYour Personal Anxiety MapPreviewYour Personal Anxiety Map
In this module, we will map your personal anxiety response in detail so you are able to step outside of the vicious automatic cycle that you get caught in when you are triggered into a fear based response. Once you understand your cycle, you will be ready to deal with each part of it powerfully.
Turn to your workbook now (that you downloaded and printed in the previous module) and follow along with me as we complete this map together.
Now that you have your workbook in front of you, map with me your own personal triggers that make you feel worried.
What are they? What goes through your mind when you think of these triggers?
Write down those negative automatic thoughts too in your personal anxiety map.

lessonExercise: Mindful Body ScanPreviewExercise: Mindful Body Scan
Welcome to Module 3, where we deal with the physical symptoms of anxiety.
In this module, I will be showing you two exercises you will use to manage your anxiety using your body.
The first exercise we will do is a Mindful Body Scan. Listen to this guided audio exercise with eyes closed, once a day over the next week and use your workbook to track your level of distress between 0-100 before and after doing this exercise to notice what changes happen for you as you practice this strategy to elicit calmness in your body.
With continued practice, you will begin to feel more calm on a daily basis. The best times to do this exercise are normally in the morning so you can start your day feeling calm, or in the evening before you go to bed. You can also do this exercise both in the morning and in the evening to get added benefit.
Mindful Body Scan works to become an observer of what is happening in your body without resisting any sensations that may be unpleasant. This allows you to gently relax different areas of your body and release tension that you may notice with gentle awareness.
Ideally use your headphones. Find a nice and quiet place to do this exercise.

lessonIntroduction to Mindfulness of EmotionsPreviewIntroduction to Mindfulness of Emotions
We are beginning with an exercise that will teach you how to be mindful of your emotions, without getting caught up in them.
Often times, when we are feeling a negative emotion, we want to push it away, run away from it, or resist it. This resistance creates a secondary level of distress that actually makes us feel worse.
Join me as I introduce and demonstrate what mindfulness of emotions is here, and why it’s important to allow ourselves to FEEL all of our emotions without any judgement, before we dive into doing the next exercise.

So now you are able to challenge your negative thoughts, and worried predictions about the future.
Well done for consciously taking control of your thought process in this way!
We are now going to explore a concept from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy called ‘defusion’.
This is where you begin stepping into the role of observing your thoughts rather than becoming your thoughts.
When you become the observer of your mind’s chatter, you are less likely to feel trapped by your thoughts and can consciously choose to respond to situations in a more empowering way. In this video I explain in depth what defusion is and how you can use it in your life right now.

lessonConsciously Creating With Your Words and ActionsPreviewConsciously Creating With Your Words and Actions
Well done on completing the last exercise and becoming very present to your own fused thinking patterns.
Can you see how when you are attached to these thoughts, it creates a negative reality?
Well now that you are aware of these stories that your mind produces, you can choose to let go of the ones that don’t feel good AND begin to consciously create the reality you want to experience through using your WORDS and ACTIONS.
Use your workbook with me in this video as we take time to identify what outcomes you are committed to creating in your life?
When you get clear on what you desire to create, write it out, declare it, and take action towards it, you will be living into a commitment that you consciously created, rather than letting fear based internal dialogue run your life.
We always have a CHOICE as to whether we let the internal dialogue stop us, or we take action towards our goals despite having the negative internal dialogue. It’s time you consciously declare what you are going to experience!

lessonThe Power of Massive ActionPreviewThe Power of Massive Action
Welcome to the Bonus Module where we get to take your progress to the next level!!
In this Bonus lesson, we are looking at becoming a massive action taker. Action moves you forward even if you fail or mess up a few times. If you recognise that it is better to fail forward than to stay stuck, you will feel the power of taking risks. Every successful person embraces mistakes and failure as part of the road to success. It means you are trying and learning and growing. It will ALWAYS move you forward if you don’t give up.
So use your workbook with me in this lesson to declare what actions you will take to overcome your most pressing fears. Stand behind those actions with full commitment and watch yourself move forward as you take them.

lessonCreating a Support System Around YouPreviewCreating a Support System Around You
Have you experienced what it feels like to have massive support behind you when you are facing your fears and stepping outside your comfort zone?
Having a support system is crucially important if you want to really propel forward in overcoming fear and taking risks. We’ve been on this journey together throughout these 9 modules but it’s time now for you to create your very own support system so you can have a team of people behind you as you level up and step into transformation and growth!
Use your workbook to complete this final exercise of identifying who you will reach out to in order to experience the support and encouragement that you deserve 🙂
