Why I Created FQST: A Personal and Scientific Journey Through Anxiety
For more than a decade, I worked as a registered mental health nurse in Australia. Throughout those years, I met hundreds of people struggling with anxiety and depression—people who were exhausted, frightened, and desperate to regain control of their minds. But what I didn’t realize then was that I was also one of them.
When the Healer Became the Patient
My own encounter with anxiety changed everything. It began quietly— tightness in the chest, racing thoughts, sleepless nights—but soon grew into a full-blown disorder that dismantled my sense of safety. As a professional, I knew every technique that was supposed to help: cognitive therapy, relaxation exercises, medication, exposure plans. Yet none of them could truly reach the part of my brain that was spinning out of control.
I realized how helpless it feels when your own mind becomes the battlefield. You know what is happening, you understand the theories, but you can’t stop the storm. The more I tried to control my fear, the stronger it became. My logical brain and emotional brain seemed to speak two different languages. That experience marked the beginning of a long personal and professional search—a search that would eventually become FQST (FrequenSync Therapy)
Asking the Real Question
At the height of my struggle, one question haunted me: Why do so many scientifically proven methods fail to bring lasting relief when we are trapped inside the symptoms? I wasn’t looking for another coping strategy; I was searching for the missing link between understanding anxiety and truly shifting it.
I began to observe what was happening inside my brain in real time— how fear signals fired automatically, how the amygdala hijacked my thoughts, and how my attempts to “think rationally” only made it worse. I noticed that my brain wasn’t malfunctioning; it was simply operating on a different frequency—a survival frequency. What I needed was not suppression, but synchronization: a way to realign my cognitive and emotional systems so they could communicate again.
Ten Years of Learning and Integration
That insight led me into more than a decade of study. I immersed myself in neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I studied how the brain processes threat, how neural pathways reinforce fear, and how behavior can reprogram perception. But most importantly, I continuously tested everything on myself.
Each panic episode became a laboratory. Each fear wave became data. Over time, I started building a framework—a structured map that could explain the transition from a normal brain state to an anxietydominant state. I called it the ABC Frequency Model:
- AB frequency represents the brain’s normal, adaptive stress mode.
- C frequency is the anxiety loop—from constant agitation to a hyper-alert survival frequency dominated by the amygdala.
Within C frequency, I further identified three sub-states—C1, C2, and C3—each corresponding to increasing levels of emotional hijacking and loss of cognitive control. Recognizing these frequencies helped me and my clients locate where we were in the process and what type of intervention was most effective.
Returning to China and Continuing the Mission
In 2019, I returned to China after years of professional practice in Australia. I wanted to continue my research, but this time on a larger scale. What started as personal exploration evolved into a
system of education, research, and real-world application.
Over the past six years, I have conducted in-depth anxietyintervention programs across multiple formats—online courses, live workshops, and one-on-one guidance. Through social media platforms, I shared my knowledge and discoveries with a growing audience. To date, my content and programs have reached nearly one million people, both
online and offline. Many of them have written to tell me that for the first time, they finally understood what was happening inside their brain—that anxiety was not madness, but miscommunication within their neural frequencies.

From Concept to System: The Birth of FQST
Through these years of observation, teaching, and refinement, I began to see a consistent pattern. People didn’t just need emotional comfort or motivational advice—they needed a practical, neuroscience-informed training system that could help them rewire their brain’s response to anxiety.
That’s how FQST (FrequenSync Therapy) was born.
FQST stands for Frequency Synchronization Therapy. It combines cognitive awareness, behavioral engagement, and neuro-synchronization techniques to help individuals retrain their anxiety frequency. The goal is not to suppress symptoms but to transform how the brain interprets and responds to them.
Instead of asking “How can I stop the fear?”, FQST asks, “How can I guide my brain back into alignment?” It’s not about escaping anxiety—it’s about meeting it differently, training with it, and teaching the amygdala that it no longer needs to fight imaginary danger.
The Core of FQST
FQST is built around seven core modules, each representing a stage in the retraining process—from identifying distorted threat signals, to engaging with fear peaks safely, to reestablishing new cognitive pathways. It incorporates:
- Micro-Cognitive Awareness Training (MCAT) — learning to detect and redirect micro-level rumination loops before they escalate.
- Targeted Fear Highpoint (TFH) — using short, guided exposure at the peak of fear to create “expectation violation” learning.
- Symptom-to-Training Conversion (STC) — transforming discomfort into action to rebuild safe achievement memories and other structured modules that together form a complete cycle of frequency regulation.
These practices are designed not just for therapists, but also for individuals who want to actively participate in their own recovery. Over time, FQST has evolved from a set of techniques into a complete education and certification system.
Beyond Professional Training
FQST today offers multi-level professional certifications—Practitioner, Instructor, and Supervisor—as well as structured selftraining programs for individuals. We also conduct public mentalhealth workshops such as Psychological First Aid and Resilience Lectures for schools, corporations, and communities.
The vision is to make mental health knowledge accessible to everyone—not only to professionals but to anyone who wants to understand and work with their own mind.
A Bridge Between Science and Humanity
At its heart, FQST is more than a therapy system. It is a bridge between scientific understanding and human experience. It acknowledges that anxiety is not simply a psychological disorder, but a misaligned frequency—a pattern of the brain trying too hard to protect us.
By bringing together the language of neuroscience and the compassion of lived experience, FQST offers a new paradigm for anxiety management: one that empowers people to train, rather than fight, their minds.
Looking Forward
As FQST continues to grow internationally—with collaborations in Hong Kong, Australia, and China—our mission remains clear: to help people reconnect with their natural brain rhythm and rediscover calm through understanding, not resistance.
Every time I meet someone struggling with anxiety, I remember how it felt to be lost inside that loop. And every time I see a participant regain stability, I am reminded why FQST exists—to prove that healing is not about escaping fear, but learning how to move through it, in sync with the frequencies of life itself.
