Early-bird self-paced price: £119 £149
Why This Course?
Exhausted from scanning every room, editing yourself to feel safe, and lying awake replaying conversations? Tired of advice that ignores what it actually costs to exist in a world that wasn't built for you? This course meets you where generic self-help won't — with real tools for the anxiety that comes from living visibly, loving openly, and surviving systems that still push back.
Context, Not Blame
Your anxiety isn't a personal defect — it's an intelligent survival pattern shaped by minority stress, hypervigilance, and the visibility–safety paradox.
Evidence-Based & Affirming
Combines minority-stress-informed CBT with HypnoCBT® for both conscious thoughts and deeper automatic patterns — with growing evidence for faster, longer-lasting anxiety relief.
Built for Queer Lives
No generic self-help. This course understands concealment stress, internalised shame, and the complexity of being LGBTQI+ in a world that wasn't built for you.
Designed for queer and trans adults who…
You want practical, evidence-based tools — not just vague self-help tips.
You need an approach that actually understands minority stress, hypervigilance, and internalised shame.
You prefer a structured programme you can follow at your own pace, with materials you can come back to whenever anxiety spikes again.
You're on a waiting list for therapy and need support in the meantime.
You've read or are exploring the Beyond Survival book and want to go deeper.
What You'll Learn Inside
10 modules, three phases: Map, Settle, Move.
Understand Your Anxiety in Context
- Map how minority stress has shaped your anxiety, avoidance, and self-talk — so you stop blaming yourself for intelligent survival patterns.
- See clearly when anxiety is about you and when it's about the environment you've had to adapt to.
Settle Your System & Shift Patterns
- Use LGBTQI+-affirming CBT tools to work with catastrophic “what ifs”, shame spirals, and an overactive inner critic.
- Practise HypnoCBT-informed self-hypnosis and nervous-system resets you can use in a few minutes, even on rough days.
Move Differently in the World
- Design safe-enough behavioural experiments that respect your safety while gently expanding your life (not macho “face your fear” challenges).
- Build queer-aware boundaries and assertive communication in relationships, family, work, and community spaces.
- Create a relapse-prevention and maintenance plan so you can keep going even through future stress spikes, election cycles, or life changes.
Each module includes step-by-step materials you can revisit whenever you need.
Course Curriculum
10 structured modules with teaching videos, guided audios, and worksheets.
Grounded in the same framework as the book
This course builds directly on the ideas and tools from Beyond Survival – A Practical Guide to LGBTQI+ Anxiety, rooted in minority-stress-informed CBT plus HypnoCBT.
Context-first anxiety work — understanding how visibility, safety, and oppression shape your nervous system.
An integrated approach that combines CBT and clinical hypnotherapy (HypnoCBT®) for deeper, faster change.
Concrete, structured tools — not generic affirmations — to help you move beyond survival patterns into a life that feels more like your own.
