Empowerment Solutions With Dr. Friedemann

Do you believe that your anxiety holds you back from having healthy romantic relationships? You may have told yourself that you are flawed and broken and that, therefore, nobody wants to date you, let alone be with you. Or that you won’t measure up and aren’t worthy of true love and have to settle for anyone willing to accept you...

As humans we are always looking for ways to improve and grow more into the best version of ourselves. The problem often is something holds us back and doesn't allow us to change.

Have you ever sat down to think about and define what it would sound, feel and look like when you’ve moved beyond your anxiety?

Do you often find that the holidays are not only the most magical time of the year but also one of the more stressful ones. Not only emotionally, with all the preparations, getting the kids together, traveling, and seeing the inlaws.
