ABOUT BEV AISBETT

In transforming her own episode of extreme anxiety into a positive and life enhancing experience, Bev has undertaken intensive personal research and formal training in psychology, philosophy and the wisdom of both ancient and modern cultures.

An experienced teacher and counsellor, Bev's style incorporates the 3C's - Courage, Clarity and Caring. She brings to her sessions a frankness, friendliness and warmth that encourages others to rely on their own potential for growth and change.

Her own recovery and well being serve as testimony to the effectiveness of the wisdom she passes on to others.

A survey of participants 6 months after completing 'WORKING WITH IT' has revealed long term benefits, not only in terms of the individuals' ability to better manage anxiety, but also in a healthier and more confident approach to life in general.  
 
Testimonials:

I first heard of this program when I heard Bev on the radio, listing a number of symptoms of anxiety disorders. She struck a chord in me through the familiarity we both had with those symptoms, which she claimed to have worked through and which I was terrified of.

The five-week Recovery Program I subsequently attended was daunting in a number of ways. Only two other men attended the workshops with a dozen or more women, and I was so old! We had to do homework, or, should I say, we chose to do as much extra-curricular work as we wanted to? And being a smallish group, we all felt in a way exposed, thinking what we each had was only ours to suffer.

Bev's approach is both professional and personal (and has the credibility of experience). Participants couldn't hang back, and still expect to get real worth out of the program. The bonding of the group worked because we were all in the same boat, and we could all start to manage our difficult problems together, with our individual approaches evident in our personal reports at the start of each new session. We could see each other start to grow in confidence as we absorbed the tools and techniques to manage our future. Recovery is from within, and takes time. Bev showed us the way. - John - August, 2000  
 
Bev taught us during our course, that anxiety is manageable and gave us strategies to effectively deal with various situations we may face. The sessions were frank, friendly and a great deal of warmth was felt within the group. It was so encouraging to be guided by someone who had experienced 'IT' and beaten 'IT'. Thanks Bev for giving us the tools to work with both now and in the future. - Bev - August, 2000  
 
I really enjoyed the course, it was the most enlightening thing I have ever done in relation to my anxiety. I gained a sense of understanding that negative thoughts create negative actions and also being able to control these thoughts. - Paul - August, 2000  
 
I attended Bev's workshop with much nervousness and apprehension; I had never done anything quite like this before, but I was determined to examine all possible avenues that could assist me in dealing with my anxiety. Upon undertaking the course my apprehension was immediately diminished, realising that I was not alone and that I was not "weird".After the first week, I was eager to see what the focus of upcoming sessions would be, such was the positiveness of the initial meeting. I am not suggesting that I left the first meeting feeling like a new and recovered person, rather I had been introduced to the real life of experience of working through a process and the rewards that can be attained by remaining true to the process. Up until this point, I had heard the theory of working through the process, yet it had never resonated with me. Bev's personal experiences with anxiety made the thought of recovery, a real and attainable goal.

In the subsequent weeks of the course I found the sessions to be varied, challenging, supportive, confronting, emotional, informative, inspiring and above all, meaningful. I left the course with a new armoury of strategies and understanding that I still work with every day. I still have a long way to go to realise my dreams and goals with respect to managing anxiety and I can now see the path and have the renewed motivation to succeed.

I would sincerely like to thank Bev for her genuine interest in the group, her candour, love and encouragement. Thank you for allowing me to see the choices I have. - Julie-Anne
