Answer 2

Dear poster,

Thank you for posting on Wyzant. I would be happy to answer your question.

Getting over anxiety can be a tough situation. However, sometimes it's not getting over anxiety, it's about coping with it. People, although skilled, still get nervous or anxiety. But it is those who can cope with it that become successful. It's about confidence within yourself, your knowledge, your skill, and purpose. This isn't easy, it takes skill and practice. But, how to start? That, may I tell you, is something I do and can teach.

If you would like to get over anxiety at any point of life, to cope with it especially in the times you have no other choice but to, then please feel free to contact me. It would be a pleasure to have a lesson together and for me to help you get started on learning the skill of coping.

I hope to see you and/or hear from you sometime, if you're interested.

Hope you have a great day!

Sincerely,

Niki
