Creator of The Anxiety Checklist

I’ve lived with severe anxiety. I know how frightening it can be

Hi, I’m Romain. I experienced severe anxiety for many years. Not the mild stress people casually talk about, but constant negative thinking, crippling worry, and full-blown panic attacks that made my body feel out of control.

What took me so long was not a lack of effort. I was doing everything I thought was right. Therapy. Journaling. Exercise programs. Diets. Fasting retreats. Self-help books. Hypnotherapy. Meditation.

The problem was not motivation.
The problem was direction.

I kept being given the wrong tools, or the right tools in the wrong order. That cost me time, confidence, and opportunities. At one point, anxiety had shrunk my life so much that leaving my home felt overwhelming.

Eventually, I made a decision. Anxiety was not going to define my entire life.

Through years of trial and error, I learned something critical. Real progress does not come from one miracle solution. It comes from a small, reliable set of science-based tools you can use when your mind and nervous system misfire, combined with the right understanding of what panic actually is.

The Anxiety Checklist Toolkit is the system I wish I had when anxiety first started for me.

It brings together the tools that actually helped, structured in a clear way, with guidance from experts who helped me understand panic in a way nothing else ever did.

My mission is simple.
To make sure you do not lose years searching for answers the way I did.

I hope this helps you understand your anxiety faster, feel less alone, and move toward a calmer, more stable, and happier life.

But listen, I know it’s not easy. I know what it’s like to feel lost, scared and alone

Your inner voice makes life f**king hard

Suffering with anxiety is like walking around with one of those cartoon rain clouds following you. While everyone else is walking in the sunshine, your life is in a shadow. That negative voice in your head is constantly judging you, doubting you, and convincing you things will work out badly. Life just feels overwhelming.

anxiety-symptoms-image-1

Panic attacks feel like you’re going to die

Sometimes the fear overtakes you. Suddenly, your body reacts like you’re locked in a room with a bear. Your heart starts pounding hard. You can’t breathe. It’s like you’re drowning in water, only there is no water. While a tiny voice inside says you’ll be ok, the rest of your body is screaming for an ambulance.

anxiety-symptoms-image-2

Anxiety is stealing the life you deserve

Panic attacks are terrible. But the worst part is that anxiety is limiting your life. It stops you meeting new people, building better relationships, and trying new things. Anxiety holds you back in your business or your career. It stops you taking risks and gaining rewards. It stops you having fun. It’s time this changed, right?

anxiety-symptoms-image-3
You want to gain control of your anxiety

It’s not your fault nothing has worked. Most people are shown the wrong path

You’ve never been shown how anxiety works

People say to think positively, which frames anxiety as a mindset issue, when it’s a survival pattern, which is why fixes feel temporary.

You’ve been trying to fight fear with more fear

It’s natural to push away anxious sensations to protect yourself, but that teaches your brain there’s danger and strengthens the fear loop.

You’ve been coping instead of recovering

Avoidance tactics and safe routines get you through difficult days, but they also keep anxiety alive and don’t help you achieve deeper change. 

You’ve never had a clear method to follow

Tools like meditation, grounding or self-care can soothe you briefly. But lasting progress requires a method that targets the anxiety patterns.

Introducing the Anxiety Toolkit

Everything you need to understand your anxiety, so you feel safe, calm and in control of your life again

The Anxiety Toolkit is a set of practical tools and science-based methods for tackling anxiety from every angle. Whether you deal with full-blown panic attacks, or just a constant background of anxiety, you get the expert guidance you need to calm your mind and start living with confidence again.

I got this to help with my adult son who is really struggling with life. It has given me some new ways to try and tackle the issues we're having. He has even read it himself (I think your personal story helped him a lot).

The checklist is a comfort to me. When I start to feel my mood drop and my worries rise, I open the checklist. Sometimes just that rational act is enough to stop my anxiety from escalating.

So what’s inside Toolkit?

Introducing The PanicFreeTM Masterclass

With Michael Norman (Guest Expert)

Retrain the system behind your “false alarms”

Micheal Lecture

Taught by anxiety specialist Michael Norman, this 4.5-hour science-based masterclass shows you exactly how panic works, why the sensations feel so threatening, and how to retrain the automatic systems responsible for false alarms.

Built on decades of work in physiology, clinical psychology and fear-learning neuroscience, it draws directly from the research of Milton H. Erickson, Cannon, Nardone, Wegner, Watzlawick, Deacon, Schiller and others. Those ideas are translated into clear, practical steps you can work through at your own pace.

What’s inside?
Micheal Lecture
What you’ll learn
What you gain
Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

“I saw Michael for just 7 minutes, that was all it took to totally wipe out my very difficult and distressing problem. In all my years as a doctor I haven’t known any psychologist or medical professional who can create change of that magnitude so quickly, but the results speak for themselves: two years down the track the problem is still gone and it happened so automatically and easily.”  

Dr. Walter

Introducing CBT

with Dr Joshua Shifrin

Understand the thinking patterns behind anxiety

Micheal Lecture

This short video course is a clear introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, taught by Dr Joshua Shifrin, a licensed neuropsychologist with a PhD and years of clinical experience working with anxiety. It isn’t a masterclass, it’s a simple, accessible overview that helps you understand the thinking patterns, interpretations and habits that often sit underneath anxiety.

What you gain
Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

I didn’t know anything about cognitive behavioral therapy, so this was an excellent introduction. Really thorough and clear and has really encouraged me to explore this more to help me with my anxiety.”

David D.

Introducing the CBT Journaling app

A guided way to steady your thoughts in the moment

Micheal Lecture

When anxiety spikes, it’s hard to remember what you learned in a book or video. The CBT Journaling App gives you a simple, guided flow you can use on your phone to catch unhelpful thoughts, label the patterns behind them and see clearer, more balanced alternatives, all in a few minutes.

What it contains
How you use it
What you gain
Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

“I’ve tried journaling my anxiety before but it was never really effective. The CBT journaling app is great because it helps you understand your worries and then think of them differently. After a while, you start to catch your negative thoughts and can reframe them yourself, without even needing to use the app.” 

Tariq B

Introducing Hypnosis & Guided Calming Sessions

Audio tools to calm anxiety in the body and retrain your stress response

about profile image

This section of the Anxiety Checklist app includes a collection of guided hypnosis and calming audio sessions designed to help you regulate anxiety at a physical and nervous-system level.

Some sessions use Progressive Muscle Relaxation, others use guided focus or gentle hypnotic pacing. All are practical, grounded, and designed to be used safely while remaining fully aware and in control.

These sessions are not about positive thinking or forcing relaxation. They give you direct ways to calm the body, reduce fear of sensations, and build a more resilient stress response over time.

What’s inside?
How you use these sessions
What you gain
Introducing Exposure Therapy (CBT)

A structured way to face fears safely, step by step

about profile image

Avoiding what scares you feels helpful in the moment, but over time it actually keeps anxiety alive. Exposure Therapy works by gently reversing that pattern.

Inside the Anxiety Checklist app, you’ll find a guided Exposure Therapy tool that helps you break a fear down into manageable steps and face it gradually, at your own pace. This approach is widely used in CBT and is one of the most effective ways to reduce phobias and anxiety-driven avoidance.

What is a fear ladder?

A fear ladder is a simple structure that turns one overwhelming fear into a series of small, achievable steps.

Instead of forcing yourself to face the scariest situation right away, you:

Over time, your brain stops treating the situation as a threat.

What’s inside the Exposure Therapy tool?
How you use it

There’s no rush and no pressure. You’re always in control.

What you gain
Why this works

Exposure Therapy helps your brain learn through experience that the things you fear are not as dangerous as they feel, and that you can cope with anxiety when it shows up.

Instead of trying to calm anxiety away, you teach your nervous system that it doesn’t need to sound the alarm in the first place.

Introducing Belief Experiments (CBT)

Test anxious predictions and learn from real experience

about profile image

When anxiety is high, it often feels like your fears are facts. Your mind predicts that something bad will happen, and those predictions drive avoidance, safety behaviours, and constant worry.

Belief Experiments help you gently test those predictions in real life, so you can see what actually happens rather than relying on anxiety’s guesses.

Inside the Anxiety Checklist app, this tool guides you step by step through setting up, scheduling, and reflecting on small experiments designed to challenge anxious beliefs safely and realistically.

What is a belief experiment?

A belief experiment is a structured way to test an anxious prediction.

Instead of asking:
“Is this thought true?”

You ask:
“What happens if I test it?”

For example:

The experiment lets you find out what really happens and whether the outcome is as bad as you feared.

What’s inside the Belief Experiments tool?
How you use it

This process builds learning through experience, not willpower.

What you gain
How this complements Exposure Therapy

Exposure Therapy helps your nervous system learn that feared situations are safe. Belief Experiments help your mind learn that anxious predictions are often inaccurate or survivable.

Together, they address both:

Introducing Affirmations & Guided Reframe

Calm, grounding audio to steady your mind and shift anxious thinking

about profile image

Affirmations work best when they’re done properly. Not as forced positive thinking, but as calm, believable reminders that help your nervous system settle and your thoughts soften.

Inside the Anxiety Checklist app, the Affirmations section combines a longer guided reframe session with a large library of short, focused affirmations you can use anytime anxiety, doubt, or overthinking starts to creep in.

All affirmations are recorded with a calm, human voice designed to feel steady and reassuring, not artificial or overly upbeat.

What’s inside?
Affirmation categories

The affirmations are organised into six clear categories so you can quickly find what you need:

How you use this section

These sessions are designed to be supportive, not demanding.

What you gain
Introducing the Community

A safe place to connect with people who truly understand

about profile image

Anxiety can feel isolating, especially when the people around you don’t fully get what you’re going through. The Anxiety Checklist Community is a private, supportive space where you can connect with others who are walking a similar path.

This is not social media. There’s no pressure to perform, no judgement, and no expectation to “be positive.” Just real people, honest conversations, and shared understanding.

Hosted in a private Telegram group, the community is available whenever you need connection, reassurance, or a reminder that you’re not alone.

What you’ll find inside
How you use it
What you gain

We are all at different stages of healing. There’s no pressure, no judgement, just support.

Introducing the Fearless Living eBook

A grounded guide from someone who has lived it

about profile image

Fearless Living is a clear, honest ebook that brings together the most useful ways to understand and reduce anxiety. Drawn from my personal experience with severe anxiety and panic, it gives you a calm, rational framework for making sense of your symptoms, your triggers and your options, without promising miracles or offering vague advice.

What it contains

Nine chapters that explain how anxiety works day to day, how to change unhelpful thoughts, how to adjust lifestyle habits that influence anxiety, how to cope with triggers and panic episodes, how to build support around you, and how to maintain long-term progress. And it includes my personal story, what helped me, what didn’t, and how I slowly rebuilt a calmer life.

Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

“The fearless book was really helpful for me to better understand my anxiety and my options for dealing with it. And thanks for sharing your personal story with anxiety in such an open and vulnerable way Romain.”

Introducing the The Anxiety Checklist

A calm, rational tool when you feel overwhelmed

Micheal Lecture

The Anxiety Checklist is a structured spreadsheet that turns big, vague goals like “fix my anxiety” into small, practical actions you can actually follow. It distills years of my own trial and error into a simple, trackable system you can open whenever you need a calm, rational next step.

Anxiety makes everything feel big and urgent. The Checklist gives you a steady, practical place to turn when your thoughts start heading in the wrong direction.

Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

“The Anxiety Checklist is brilliant. It’s a really useful list of tactics and approaches I use when trying to calm my racing mind. Instead of trying random things from the internet, I follow the checklist and it really helps me start to feel in control again.”

Introducing the Anxiety University

Your always-available library of clear, helpful articles

Micheal Lecture

Anxiety University is a free, always-on library you can dip into whenever you want a calm explanation of a symptom, fear or thinking pattern. It’s not a core part of the Toolkit, just an extra resource that helps you make sense of anxiety in small, steady, and manageable pieces.

What it contains
Praise for The Anxiety Checklist

“I strongly believe that the key to beating anxiety is to educate yourself on why you’re having these responses and reactions. The Anxiety Uni is a library of in-depth articles and helpful guides to help you deal with your anxious thoughts and panic spirals, so is a great way to get this knowledge.”

Why the Anxiety Checklist Toolkit works

Because anxiety shifts when you understand it clearly, interrupt it early, and build steady new patterns. The Toolkit supports all three phases.

Understanding reduces the fear behind your anxiety

When you know what your thoughts, sensations and triggers actually mean, they stop feeling mysterious or dangerous. Clear understanding lowers confusion and gives your brain fewer reasons to react with alarm.

user picture image
Proven techniques shift the patterns that keep anxiety going

Avoidance, suppression and constant reassurance make anxiety stronger over time. Methods like CBT reframing, emotional learning and small behavioural experiments help replace those patterns with calmer, more stable responses.

user picture image
Small consistent steps create lasting changes in daily life

Anxiety improves when tools are used in real moments, not in occasional breakthroughs. Simple actions like journaling, reframing or adjusting habits help you build a steadier baseline and regain confidence day by day.

What can you expect from the Anxiety Toolkit?

Instead of feeling lost in your own thoughts… you can understand what’s happening and feel more in control.

Instead of reacting to every sensation with fear… you can recognise what’s normal and feel safe in your body again.

Instead of living around “what ifs”... you can do the things you care about without planning escape routes.

Instead of hoping spirals pass on their own… you can use tools that actually settle your mind in the moment.

Instead of staying in survival mode… you can have more steady days where anxiety isn’t running the show.

Instead of avoiding the life you want… you can get back to the places, people and routines you’ve been missing.

Get free updates and lifetime access

This won’t be the final version of the Anxiety Toolkit, because my journey with anxiety is not yet complete. When I complete updates, I’ll automatically send you the updated versions of each item in the toolkit. So when you buy today, you get lifetime access, including all future updates.

Important: This isn’t a magic bullet

There is no promise or guarantee that the Anxiety Toolkit will rid you of your anxiety. I’m also not a medical professional, so always seek advice from the experts. These are simply the tools that I (and many others) have used to successfully manage severe anxiety and panic attacks. I hope they work for you too.

Anxiety is costing you real money

Anxiety makes you play it safe, so it quietly limits what you earn. When you're anxious you avoid difficult situations and stay in your comfort zone, so you don’t go for that promotion, or ask for a payrise, or grow your business.

And getting help can be expensive

Here’s what common approaches typically cost for just one session:

Meditation class

Up to

$40

Psychologist session

Up to

$300

Anxiety pills (per month)

Up to

$400

Psychiatrist session

“If you find me lying on the floor, call my family”

Romain Brabant

That’s the note I used to carry in my pocket during the worst of my panic attacks. When an episode hit me in public, I couldn’t speak or explain what was happening. All I could do was hand that note to a stranger and hope they followed it.

It’s a hard thing to admit. But I’m sharing it because I want you to know I’ve been where you are — frightened, exhausted, and unsure how to get out of that cycle.

Slowly, with a lot of trial and error, I found a set of tools that helped me understand what was happening in my body and mind. Eventually, I was able to throw away that note and start living with more confidence, freedom and joy again. You can get there too.

Because you’re not stuck. You’re not broken. You just need the right help.

about profile image

What does a life free from anxiety look like?

It’s about having the confidence to live a life you can be proud of, even if that’s just being a “normal” person doing normal things. 

It looks like leaving your comfort zone

It looks like a healthy mind and body

It looks like genuine happiness
