8-Week Anxiety & Depression Healing Cohort

8-Week Anxiety & Depression Healing Group Faith • Psychology • Neuroscience The 8-Week Anxiety & Depression Healing Group is a structured, neuroscience-informed program designed to help participants understand, regulate, and transform anxiety and depressive patterns in a safe, faith-centered environment. This group combines clinical psychology, brain science, and faith-based renewal principles to help participants understand what is happening biologically, emotionally, and spiritually. Rather than viewing anxiety or depression as weakness, participants learn how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and chronic emotional strain. Through clear teaching and guided processing, members gain insight into how thought patterns, core beliefs, emotional triggers, and behavioral cycles contribute to ongoing distress. Each 90-minute session includes psychoeducation, group processing, and practical skill application. Participants learn how anxiety activates survival systems in the brain, how depression affects motivation and reward pathways, and how cognitive distortions shape emotional responses. Using neuroscience-based tools, participants practice nervous system regulation, cognitive restructuring, identity renewal, and behavioral activation strategies that support emotional stability. Throughout the program, participants will: • Understand the biological and neurological foundations of anxiety and depression • Learn how the nervous system shifts into survival mode • Identify and interrupt distorted thinking patterns • Recognize emotional triggers and trauma responses • Challenge core beliefs that fuel anxiety and depression • Practice behavioral activation to break avoidance cycles • Develop a sustainable maintenance and relapse prevention plan Week 7 is a guided rest and reflection week, allowing the nervous system to integrate learning before final consolidation in Week 8. By the end of the program, participants will have a deeper understanding o
