In her words
Why I built this course
Is this for you?
This course is for you if…
You want a clear, structured way to understand anxiety, at your own pace.
This may not be the right fit if…
You need clinical care right now. A course is education, not treatment.
You're looking for a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
You want someone to do the work for you. The course asks you to reflect, write and practise.
You'd rather learn in Arabic only. The course is in English, with Arabic subtitles.
You overthink, and you're tired of it
Your mind replays conversations and runs through what could go wrong. You want to understand why, and what to do with it.
You want structure, not tips
Everything comes in the order Sarah El Nabulsi teaches it, so each step builds on the last.
Your body reacts before you can think
A racing heart, a tight chest, broken sleep. You want to know what your nervous system is doing.
You're busy
About 4 to 5 hours in total: a weekend, or under 30 minutes a day.

Can I take it while I'm seeing a therapist?
