Jeannette does not take a one size fits all to anxiety disorders. She believes strongly that each person experiences anxiety in a unique way and therefore, each person will escape its upsetting effects in a unique way.

Dr Kavanagh uses the combination of approaches outlined in her downloadable self help kit Calming Words . The foundation of the approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy in which each client looks at the thoughts that provoke fear-filled feelings. They quickly move to working on ways to do what Jeannette terms " re-write their script". That is, clients learn a new and productive way to respond to the first symptoms of fear and panic. Jeannette complements CBT with a range of relaxation and meditation techniques which become part of the person's anti-anxiety tool kit.

Dr Kavanagh also introduces her clients to the benefits of Emotional Freedom Techniques™ a gentle and highly effective therapy which again re-inforces for the client that s/he is in charge.

Research shows that even when the cause of a problem has been found, that doesn’t eliminate the problem. 

How Calming Words differs from other products

Dr Kavanagh's self-help kit Calming Words allows you to move from anxiety to calm. The kit evolved over the past twenty years.  Unlike far too many other anti-anxiety products on the Internet, it is thoroughly researched and it’s written in the clear, straightforward language that you’d expect of a professional educationalist and counselor. It offers many approaches to conquer anxiety disorder, stress, phobias and panic attacks. Why? Because Dr Kavanagh's extensive professional experience and her research indicated that that's what is needed.
