Agoraphobia

Is most popularly known as a fear of leaving one's home, but that's not the whole story. Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized my a life full of restrictions and conditions that make it very difficult for a sufferer to engage in day to day living.  Someone struggling with agoraphobia struggles to perform basic life tasks that most take for granted because they fear that they may experience terrifying anxiety or full panic if they engage in those tasks. Agoraphobics often wind up housebound, or even stuck in a single room in the house because they fear how they will feel if they leave the confines of those "safe" places.  Agoraphobia can leave a person afraid to be alone or too far from their "safe people".  It can make a grown adult feel like a child that has become completely dependent on others to handle basic life tasks.  Agoraphobia can place enormous strain on friendships, family ties, and romantic relationships. This can truly become a crippling mental health problem.

There IS Good News!

While Agoraphobia can be crippling, confusing, and discouraging, it is one of the most effectively treated anxiety related conditions in the western world.  You may have tried many things to "cure" yourself to no avail, but that doesn't mean there's no hope. The odds are high that you were just trying the wrong things.

You are not broken and not beyond hope!

You Can Get Better!

Agoraphobia might have you stuck, but you can get better. Knowing and understanding is step one in the process.

Who Is This Workshop For?

Agoraphobia explained is for anyone stuck in their house, or in a very small comfort circle. The workshop is designed for people that are trapped in a restricted life that keeps them dependent on others to rescue them from fear and anxiety and to perform life tasks they're currently afraid to do.  Agoraphobia explained was developed to address the sense of confusion, hopelessness, and discouragement that comes along with this highly impactful mental health issue.
