Calm Down
Fierce Relaxation is a four-week, online class intended to support men and women using Dr. Robert Glover’s program for recovering Nice Guys. Fierce Relaxation is especially for men and women who experience a high level of anxiety that may be interfering with their recovery process.
I am Roger Nix, a Certified No More Mr. Nice Guy Coach. I am also a recovering Nice Guy and have suffered from severe anxiety most of my life. I understand how it limits your life.
In this course, I will provide you with practical, nontechnical information and practices to deal with the chronic anxiety and fear that are limiting your ability to recover and get what you want in life.
The tools of Fierce Relaxation will train you to regulate your anxiety and shift from external validation to self-validation. These tools have worked for me and many others. I know they can help you too.
Is This You?
- You are very sensitive but have learned not to show it
- You are afraid of your feelings
- Your fear of anxiety limits you -- you either quit or don’t try
- You have designed your life to avoid anxiety -- your life is small
- You have designed your life to be busy -- your life is chaotic
- You think but don’t act, or you act but don’t think
- You need a lot of external validation but you try to not let people see this
- You get the concepts of No More Mr. Nice Guy but don’t do the exercises
