About Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises:
Job demands, financial struggles, family discord, health concerns, social media distraction and comparisons, the fear of “missing out” and more things to do than hours in a day. Sound familiar? For many, these daily stressors foster worry, fear, or anxiety. Anxiety is considered the “common cold” of all mental health disorders. Approximately 264 million individuals suffer from an anxiety disorder. And no one is immune.
Thousands of Christians don’t get help because they believe anxiety is a sign of spiritual failure, or they fear the stigma in their faith community and simply don’t reach out.
I’m Dr. Michelle Bengtson, a lover of Jesus, and a board certified neuropsychologist with over 25 years of experience diagnosing and treating patients with anxiety and anxiety-induced medical conditions. Yet, despite all my education, and all the alphabet soup after my name, I, personally, have had to fight my way out of the pit with the lions of worry, fear, and anxiety. I’ve come to realize that worry, fear, and anxiety are not our portion…God’s peace is.
I look forward to sharing with you what worry, fear, and anxiety really are, where they come from, and how we can defeat them to live in God’s peace.
