Melt away anxiety's grip on your body and mind with a tension-taming practice.
Kiri Gurd's troubles started with a particularly rough childhood, one that instilled a deep fear of abandonment. From that ongoing fear grew a lifelong battle with anxiety. Everyday activities like hanging out with friends or going to bed at night would send the Boston University doctoral student's mind racing, leaving her worried and afraid. At times, these episodes would balloon into full-fledged panic attacks. The attacks were disabling, but, says Gurd, "What really brought me to despair was the constant nervousness, inability to relax, and belief that people were thinking terrible things about me. It undermined my ability to experience joy."
