WTF!: Working Through Fear
WTF! (Working Through Fear!) is an adult (21 and over) Anxiety Support Group. Our group will include peer-to-peer discussion and interaction. Meetings will be held weekly. Participants will be encouraged to share concerns, successes, and coping strategies. You are not alone. Experiencing anxiety can make you feel like you’re isolated in your fears, but interacting with others who know what it is like can help to make you feel less alone. Anxiety disorders affect about 18% of the adult population. More than 75% of doctor visits are related to stress. Many are filled with fearfulness and uncertainty.
Whereas not meant to replace traditional therapy, our support group can be an addition to professional therapy. Our goal is to enable learning from others with anxiety as we give and receive support. Our group offers a way to make those connections. We are a support group for those coping with the fear and stress associated with various anxiety disorders.
No equine experience is required!

When you cannot walk
Let me help you to run.

Let me teach you to trust.
When you feel weak
