Anxiety Wave, a science and experience based recovery program, is helping people fully overcome anxiety (disorder) and panic attacks. Founded in 2023 by Jort Kamphuis, the platform offers a structured, step-by-step approach to overcoming anxiety rooted in the behavioral science of acceptance, not symptom ‘management’. With over 2,000 participants having reclaimed their lives, Anxiety Wave is becoming a beacon for those who have struggled with traditional treatments that focus primarily on coping and symptom control.
The origin of Anxiety Wave is not one of ambition, but necessity. Founder Jort Kamphuis experienced years of debilitating panic attacks, depersonalization, and health anxiety after the traumatic loss of both of his parents in a car crash. For years, traditional solutions like therapy, medication, and mindfulness apps failed to offer relief. This struggle, however, led Jort to uncover a radically different approach to recovery. One that changed everything.
“I’m not a therapist. I’m someone who lived through hell, found what actually works, and now help others shortcut the painful trial-and-error I went through,” says Jort. “Recovery is 100% possible and I won’t stop until more people know about this. It’s mindblowing how much misinformation is out there, even from professionals who mean well.”
The breakthrough came when Jort discovered an acceptance-based method rooted in the work of pioneers like Dr. Claire Weekes. It was a method that focused not on managing symptoms, but on rewiring the brain’s response to anxiety. This scientific approach became the foundation of Anxiety Wave’s recovery program.
“I decided to look for people who had actually overcome the thing I was struggling with. And I found them – and decided to learn and apply everything they did to recover”, he says.
The program has already transformed the lives of thousands. People with panic attacks, agoraphobia, health anxiety, and dissociation (DP/DR) have found lasting relief, often after years of being trapped in the cycle of traditional methods that failed them.
The core message of Anxiety Wave is clear: “You’re not broken, and full recovery is absolutely possible.” Jort believes that recovery should not be about managing symptoms indefinitely but should focus on breaking free from the cycle and anxiety, while completely changing your relationship with it.
This message, which contrasts sharply with the endless array of coping tools and symptom management tactics common in the mental health space, has resonated deeply with those who are tired of the status quo.
“The Anxiety Wave method was the first thing that actually made me feel in control again,” says Johnny, one of the program’s success stories. “I tried everything—apps, therapy, supplements—but nothing stopped the spiral. This is the real deal.”
Another success story comes from Stefanie, who had struggled with agoraphobia for years. “I couldn’t drive more than five minutes from my house without panicking. Today, I’m driving cross-country with confidence. This program gave me my freedom back.”
While Anxiety Wave has rapidly grown from a small online course to a full recovery platform in just two years, it has maintained its commitment to simplicity and clarity. There are no vague wellness tips or endless lists of coping mechanisms. Instead, the platform provides a practical, structured recovery method. From a free masterclass and foundational course to a full 16-week guided program with premium coaching options, Anxiety Wave provides multiple levels of support to ensure each individual can find the right fit for their journey.
“I thought I’d have to live with anxiety forever. This wasn’t just symptom management; it was real recovery. I got my life, relationships, and peace of mind back,” says Noel, another participant who credits Anxiety Wave with giving him his life back.
Trey, who had been experiencing multiple panic attacks a day, also saw a dramatic transformation. “I went from multiple panic attacks a day to zero. I’m back in the gym, back in my social life, and no longer scared of my own body.”
The Anxiety Wave method stands apart from other mental health solutions in a crowded field. Most solutions focus on managing anxiety, but Anxiety Wave’s commitment is clear: it is dedicated to teaching individuals how to break free from anxiety altogether. This radical clarity and a direct, actionable approach to recovery is what sets Anxiety Wave apart from its competitors.
To put it shortly: the goal is to be OK with anxiety, not to get rid of it. Because anxiety, or fear, is a basic human emotion that we can’t (and shouldn’t) want to get rid of. “Many people, including myself, have tried ‘everything’ to get rid of their anxiety, and nothing worked. Once you learn to be OK with anxiety, with symptoms, you create this mindset shift that communicates to your nervous system that you’re safe. And then you’re free of anxiety”, says Jort.
“If the goal is to get rid of anxiety, you’re never going to get there. Because that’s the result. A result of learning to be OK with anxiety and learning to trust yourself and your body again”, he continues.
The program’s approach is built on the core principles of acceptance-based behavioral science. Anxiety Wave teaches individuals not to fear their anxiety, but to embrace it and learn how to live without being controlled by it. By focusing on reconditioning the brain’s natural response to fear, Anxiety Wave enables people to regain control over their thoughts and actions—no longer at the mercy of their anxiety.
It’s this combination of lived experience, scientific backing, and a no-nonsense approach to recovery that has allowed Anxiety Wave to quickly grow a global following. As the program continues to expand, the brand’s mission remains unchanged: to offer a clear, science-based path to full recovery that is practical, accessible, and life-changing – with the emphasis on practical. It offers all the tools and techniques that make the acceptance approach both a science and an art.
Through live coaching sessions, expert support, and a vibrant, global community, Anxiety Wave is becoming a movement in mental health recovery. It stands as a powerful alternative for those who are tired of symptom management and ready to take control of their lives. The success of its participants is a testament to the power of this approach, and the continued growth of Anxiety Wave promises to bring recovery to thousands more who are seeking lasting change.
