Why learn to use Anxiety Freedom Cards?

Are you a counsellor or coach looking for ways to support your clients to feel better quickly? Are you looking for tools to get people talking easily, without pressure, so that you can help them to achieve better outcomes with less stress for you because you have access to great tried and tested resources and the confidence to use these tools effectively?

Perhaps some of your clients find it difficult to know where to start, or you have other clients who appear ‘stuck’ or yet others who you know are looking for further help but have lost their direction - well, as a therapist I know exactly what that feels like!

Perhaps you are suffering from ‘burnout’ or that your work life balance is well out of whack, or perhaps you are trying to find a way to offer short term counselling when most of your experience is in longer term work.

When I first qualified I was excited because I knew I could make a difference in the world. I had the training and skills. I certainly had the passion and now I had the qualification. And whilst I really helped some people, there were some clients who were difficult to engage.

I needed something more!

I needed something that would engage my clients, something that would feel relevant to them and look interesting. Something that would allow us to change perspective and jointly focus on their issues. Something that would take the pressure off - especially in their first few sessions. And something that would help them to know that I genuinely had their well-being as my first priority.

How the cards were created

So my partner and I took some of the basic ideas that underpinned our training and we created some practical, physical, tangible tools that we could use to engage our clients, quickly, easily and effectively. First we used them with our clients, then we started sharing them with our colleagues, other counsellors, therapists and coaches.

That first set of cards became the core idea behind the in8 system. Colleagues who bought the cards loved them, but as more people started using them they started asking for training on different ways to use them in practice.

Training in how to use the cards

We ran face to face workshops for years and then as 2020 dawned we started offering our workshops online.

Now we are offering this brand new self-study, video based, online workshop for the first time. It is the result of 30 years of joint experience (between me and my partner) of working with clients, and talking to people like you, who are out there on the front line working with real people. This approach has provided us with better client results, better income and more free time. Now is the time to share all this with you.

And you can get it for less than half price!

Caroline's "life-changing epiphany"

Caroline describes her first experience of in8's cards as "a life-changing epiphany" in this 1 minute video

"This tool means you don't have to rack your brains"

Back in March 2020, as we all entered lockdown, in8 moved its popular one-day card masterclass to an online (zoom-based) format. Here is what Caroline and Malcom had to say about one of the early online masterclasses

Engage your clients quickly

Would you like a simple tool that is guaranteed to engage your clients and get them talking about the things that really matter?
Would you enjoy knowing that whatever issue your next client presents with, you have a quick and easy way to engage them, that will be useful and relevant for them.
Imagine having a way to help even the most reserved client to open up!
Would you like to know that your future sessions will be easier and less stressful?
Do you have a vision for helping more people but sometimes feel overwhelmed or under-resourced to make it happen any time soon?
Are you struggling with getting your own work / life balance to work well for you?
Are you new to this business and wanting to hit the ground running with your new-found skills?
Do you feel stressed by your one-to-one client commitments and are looking to help more people by running your own groups?
Are you struggling to build a therapy, counselling or coaching business?

View the cards using the illuminate app

You may already have a physical set of Anxiety Freedom Cards, but if not, just use the digital version that is included with this workshop.

The "illuminate" app is included in the in8 Cards Online Workshop and gives you a full digital set of cards on your phone, tablet or laptop screen.

You can move the cards around, resize them, maximise them, sort them and share the images with your client either when working face to face, or when working remotely using "screen share".

Why does this work so well?

This workshop consists of videos, workbooks, downloadable resources, audio and PDF transcripts of every video in a format that allows you to study at a speed and time that suits you. You could "binge" it in a single day (since it is derived from our popular one day masterclass) - but you may choose to take your time.
Firstly, the ideas which underpin this whole approach provide us with the understanding required to minimise stress and anxiety. Applying these ideas for yourself and your clients will help you to build your own business and enable you to reach more people.
Secondly, the tools that we have developed based upon these ideas are world-class and really make the ideas come alive in a practical and totally usable way.
Lastly, there really is nothing else out there that compares to this. It is completely unique, and as such it really will give you an advantage over those who don’t use this tool.
Oh, and I should also add that doing this workshop is also a great way to get really great value CPD!

Does this resonate for you?

You are looking for practical tools that will help your people in these difficult times - even when working remotely.
You would love to have something that is guaranteed to help with even your "most stuck" clients.
You recognise that there are more and more people who desperately need your help.
You’ve spent a lot of money on training, books, supervision and all kind of apps, websites and advertising.
You care deeply about improving emotional well-being for the people around you.

Our commitment to you

We discovered that more than half of the therapists and coaches that we surveyed reported that they sometimes struggled with their own anxiety issues. Our mission is all about sharing how to live optimistically in a time of great change and uncertainty.

We have therefore developed effective online tools which will help you connect even more authentically with your clients.

Anxiety Freedom Cards are based on the "needs model of well-being"* which helps us to understand what people actually need in order to thrive.

This self-study, video and workbook-based workshop will provide you with vital insights, indispensable tools, valuable resources and the support that you need in order to make an even bigger positive difference in the world.

* The "needs model of well-being" is the simple idea that all human beings are born with innate resources (skills, capabilities). We also have innate needs (forms or nourishment) that we seek within our environment. And we live optimally when we are using all of these resources to get our innate needs met in balance.

This is not for you if:

You believe that a counsellor, therapist or coach should never give clients any advice or pointers towards achieving a healthier life.

What does this workshop cost ?

This workshop is normally sold for £127.

The current offer is for £97.

Why can't I buy it at the moment ?

We do not make this workshop available all the time. Once we have finished promoting the workshop, we shift our focus to supporting those who are doing the workshop. Unfortunately, we don't currently have the resources to both run the course as well as promote it, so we split our time into doing one or the other but not both at the same time.

We do expect to put this workshop on sale again in the near future, and we will charge significantly more for it at £127. We haven't set a date yet for the next launch, but if you sign up to the 'wait list' we promise that you will be among the first to know when it next becomes available.

This is your chance to connect with others who are making a positive impact on emotional health and well-being!
