Greetings! Hey, I'm Rob. I’m not a shrink. I’m not a guru. I’m a fellow warrior. I battled anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and depression for years—and came out the other side. Now I teach a bold, unconventional strategy that’s helped thousands around the world since 2001.


Each one of us is the hero of our story, encountering various characters and situations throughout life.  We create our own story as we move along. Instead of telling ourselves the tragic story, we can tell the heroic story.  A cool anxiety attitude is what we’re looking for, and fortunately it’s always there for us.


We have a choice in how we view our experience of anxiety & depression.  We can see it as transformative or we can see it as terrible.  Most of us take the terrible view. We fight against the darkness.  It's not common for us to embrace the experience and show respect for the challenges that have been given to us. When we fight against anxiety, we chain ourselves to the experience. Its continued existence relies on opposition. When we learn the art of self-trust, we are released from the shackles of fear. Self-trust increases the immune system of the mind. Self-trust is true medicine.

 

 

Learn the art of self-trust

 

Self-trust runs deep. It's not simply trusting yourself in specific circumstances. Self-trust is an all-around feeling of trust in your ability to handle life's challenges, changes, worries, and losses. It's also the conviction and trust that you are worthy of feeling happiness, respect, love, and peace. Nurturing those beliefs into your self-concept generates genuine self-esteem and self-trust.

 

Each time we experience anxiety/worry, we engage in a certain set of rituals. We are unaware of most of the rituals because they are subtle and quiet. They cause you to continually suffer. Running away from a place or idea that scares you is a very simplistic ritual. I will help you identify the numerous subtle and secretive rituals that continue to keep anxiety and depression at bay. In addition, there are countless behaviors that cause us to betray our self-trust.

What if anxiety wasn’t your enemy?

Most people treat anxiety like a war. I say: stop fighting it. Start learning from it. Every panic attack is a test. Every worry is a weight you can train with. You don’t need to be fearless—you need to trust yourself in the face of fear. That’s how you build the mental immune system.


As you learn how to truly trust yourself in the face of fear, you will be taking a shortcut around your symptoms. No longer will you have to deal with panic and obsessive worrying head-on. We take a detour. And regardless of whether you inherited a genetic disposition to anxiety or lived through circumstances beyond your control, you can still find relief if you learn how to heal the foundation from which your symptoms arise.

 

 


The Cool Anxiety Attitude

 

  • Learn the rituals keeping you stuck (they’re sneakier than you think)
  • Master the detour method: don’t fight fear—bypass it
  • Break free from obsessive worrying without going to war with your brain
  • Start seeing yourself as the hero, not the hostage


You need two things: a compelling strategy and the right motivation to guide you. We live in a world of instant gratification. It's no surprise that many of us resort to medication as a solution. Medication is only one tool, but it's not a total solution. Many of us learn breathing techniques, cognitive techniques, and relaxation practices. These are useful tools, but not complete solutions. My method is about healing the foundation and getting that deeper sense of all-around trust. The method motivates, inspires, and teaches you how to have a more positive and fun attitude in the face of fear.


The first step is to get unstuck. Many people drain emotional energy trying to 'stop' worrying. Despite how scary our worries seem, the ability to shift focus from getting rid of anxiety to a radical and true acceptance, is the first step. Acceptance does not mean liking it and it doesn't mean having to live with it forever. It's part of the foundation from which we can heal.

Self-trust is not woo-woo. It’s your mental immune system. When it’s strong, you don’t spiral. You adapt, recalibrate, and respond with clarity. You don’t need to be fearless—you just need to trust that fear isn’t the end of you. Anxiety thrives in ritual: escape, avoidance, hesitation. We're gonna identify and crush those rituals. Replace them with strategies that rebuild your core confidence. No sugar-coating. No fluff. Just real tools to get your mind back in your control. Whether you inherited this or earned it through life’s beatdowns, you can still win. When you build from the inside out, the symptoms stop owning you. You own your story.

 

Many great wishes on your path to recovery and wellness!
