Crocus Season

Written By Ellie Mozair Scott

If I were to name the current phase the My Anxiety Toolbox development process, I would say it is in it's Crocus Season. You know, that awkward stretch of time between the darkest parts of winter and the glimmer of hope for warm days spotted when the crocuses start to pop their colorful heads out of the slowly thawing ground. The finishing touches are being put on the design of the content; we have our official product logo; we’ve selected the bag that will hold all of the toolsets; and for My Anxiety Toolbox, the crocuses are starting to bloom.

February we devoted a lot of time to hosting show and tell events featuring My Anxiety Toolbox. We’ve collected some great feedback and are working to weave them into the final product. I think the suggestions I collected are making significant improvements in the final product and we will be officially launching My Anxiety Toolbox at our May 6, 2023, A…B…C’s of Anxiety Response workshop. You can get your tickets here.

Anxiety Tamers

If you have friends and family who would like a chance to explore the Toolbox in its prototype format, we have started a MeetUp group to offer people a safe place to explore and learn new tools. We offer both virtual and in person meeting options. You can find out more at www.meetup.com/anxiety-tamers. Our next get together will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

Conversations with Chief Anxiety Guru

Over the month of February, I was interviewed on four podcasts, sharing my journey from anxiety hostage to anxiety guru. If you want to checkout those interviews, they can be found on the Interviews page.
