Because People Deserve More Than to Survive

Stuart Thompson, creator of The STILL Method, is changing the way the world understands anxiety.

From Survival to Freedom: Why I Built The STILL Method

They said I’d have to live carefully.

But fear doesn’t just protect us from danger. It also hides joy, freedom, and the best parts of who we are.

Growing up with a body that broke easily, fear tried to make my world small. It told me to avoid. To hold back. To stay in control. And for a while, I listened.

But fear isn’t the enemy. Avoidance is.

That realisation became the foundation of The STILL Method—a structured, trauma-informed approach to anxiety that helps people move from survival mode to living fully.

Today, I train professionals, speak at conferences, and work with organisations around the world to change the way we respond to fear. Because everyone deserves more than to survive.

Rewriting the Story of Anxiety

Anxiety is not weakness. It’s not brokenness. It’s a nervous system doing its best to keep us safe.

I help people, schools, and workplaces rewrite their relationship with fear—so anxiety no longer has to speak so loudly.

My work has been featured by media outlets and trusted by organisations looking for new ways to approach mental health.

The STILL Method is more than a set of tools. It’s a framework for building safety in the body and mind—helping children, parents, and professionals move beyond survival.
