How I help men free themselves from anxiety
Every second man I work with has some form of anxiety, including me for the majority of my life, until it finally landed viscerally for me and figured out one big piece of the puzzle…
Our anxiety lives in our body, as a form of energy or emotion.
A tool and technique I’ve been using with my clients and have been doing to myself, which has minimised my anxiety dramatically since doing it is…
💡 By bringing our attention to where those thoughts show up in our body, placing our attention to the sensation and fully feeling the emotion and energy within.
💡 This process allows the emotion and energy to finally be processed and expressed through the body, and the immediate impact is a lightness in the body and clearing of thoughts.
💡 My clients notice a dramatic shift in their thoughts from negative, worrying and self-critical, to more positive, optimistic and compassionate thoughts, which allows them to enjoy life a lot more and they find they have more energy to do the things they want to in life.
It's so simple!
Typically, when we think of anxiety, we immediately think it’s something we deal with in the mind, which makes sense.
So, what people tend to do is try to ‘reframe’ their thoughts or ‘out-think’ themselves out of their anxiety, which leads to ruminating and creating even more stories.
Or, resort to something physical by numbing themselves with alcohol, social media, drugs, porn, sex etc.
I’ve learned anxious thoughts are created from an energy and emotion that is stuck in the body, as result of stress, overwhelming situations, trauma, childhood etc.
If you just address the thoughts, you may get some reprieve temporarily, but if the energy and emotion is still in the body, the thoughts will come back.
For example, it’s like when you injure your knee, and address just the knee, but the injury keeps reoccurring, because you failed to address the hip that is attached to the knee.
❗️Bottom line… Address what’s in the body, and the thoughts will clear.
If you want to free yourself from anxiety then stop looking at the thoughts and start processing the sensations and emotions in your body that are fuelling these disempowering stories.

You get to live free of this burden! As my client Lucas describes below, after just 6-weeks of this type of work...
”I first contacted Evan because I was unhappy with the direction my career and personal lives were taking, which was having a negative impact on my health. I was struggling with sadness, anxiety, low self-esteem, and general negativity. I've been working with Evan for the past six weeks, and during our regular coaching sessions -which involve breath, body and mindset work- I've been able to identify the underlying causes of my mental health concerns and regain complete control over my life. After just a short period of time, I am already focused and motivated once more, having regained my former sense of self-worth and at last my zest for life!”
