Synopsis

Anxiety is a survival skill gone haywire. It happens when our brain is working so hard to protect us that it forgets to notice that the danger has passed. It feels like choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking—our brains cut out and we start to make bad decisions—all normal anxiety reactions.Dr. Faith G. Harper, author of the bestselling Unfuck Your Brain and This is Your Brain on Depression packs a ton of knowledge and help into this practical manual. She helps us understand the history and science of anxiety, realize when it’s become a serious problem, know the difference between anxiety and other conditions, and cope with it in the moment as well as addressing it long term.This audiobook is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-fight-freeze responses, similar and co-occurring conditions, and for chronic anxiety. Straightforward, funny, kind, and judgment free, it includes a wide range of tips, exercises, and medical interventions. It’s also good for people who aren’t burdened by daily anxiety but want to cope better with the tough life situations we all face. Listen to this audiobook and breathe!

Goodreads review by Tara on March 24, 2023

As an individual with anxiety who is wanting to understand it better, I didn't feel like I got any information that I didn't already know. I was disappointed with how short some sections were.

Goodreads review by Nicole on January 26, 2022

This book was so disappointing. I paid to purchase it on Audible after reading "Unf*** Your Brain" and "Your Brain on Anxiety" by the same author because I found them so useful. Unfortunately this book was mostly compiled of chapters from the previous two books I already read!! Would highly recommen......more
