Do You Want to Break Free of Anxiety?

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. —John 14:27

In every corner of our lives, we are faced with stress. Family issues, work projects, financial worries—sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, and this leads to that unhealthy response known as anxiety.

Our Lord desires us to experience His peace on a daily basis. A life filled with chaos, fear, and anxiety is not the life He wants for us. So how do we respond to the inevitable stressors of life in a Christ-centered, holy, and peaceful way?

Dr. Mario Sacasa, licensed marriage and family therapist—and a Catholic husband and father—is here to help.

Understand the Causes, Find the Solution

In this 21-day series, Dr. Sacasa will lead you step-by-step into a deeper understanding of yourself, the nature of stress and why we experience it, how we respond to it in healthy and unhealthy ways, and how we can tackle it successfully.

Employing the Church’s understanding of the human person and his extensive experience in Catholic psychological counseling, Dr. Sacasa will teach you:

• What anxiety is and why we experience it
• The physical factors involved in the experience of anxiety
• How our identity as children of God is essential to our approach
• Practical techniques for handling stress and stopping the onslaught of anxiety
• Methods of prayer that cultivate inner peace
• Why talking about interior “wounds” can be dangerous and self-defeating
• …and so much more!

What is included in this series?

In this series, you will receive 21 lessons. Most lessons consists of a 2-6 minute video and a short article from Dr. Sacasa, while some are exercises. The exercise lessons include a longer video, in which Dr. Sacasa will lead you through the exercise, and a short article by our Good Catholic staff on the life of a relevant saint. Each lesson ends with an audio rosary you can pray with us.

How long does this series take?

We recommend 1 lesson per day, so your series will run approximately 21 days. Every day (starting the day after you sign up), you will receive an email prompting you to read and watch the fascinating daily content for that day’s lesson. Unlike most of our series, you must do the lessons in order. Each lesson is unlocked by finishing the previous lesson. We decided to do things this way because—like a physical exercise regimen—the steps build on one another and will provide the most benefit when done in order. You can repeat the series as often as you wish for a full year.
