Finding Hope In The Age Of Anxiety

TAKE YOUR POWER BACK! Feeling anxious, stupid, upset and frustrated? What's wrong with me? Why am I like this? We have a choice... Blame ourselves and others, avoid situations and worry ourselves sick OR we can acknowledge our thoughts and feelings and take our power back using techniques to embrace compassion, better understand and be courageous. Here, taking a self-compassionate approach, Dr Claire Hayes presents anxiety as a normal part of every stage of life, from childhood through to adolescence and adulthood. Using the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dr Hayes helps us to recognise, understand and take control of the unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and actions that cause anxiety. This book offers hope to people who struggle with anxiety, as well as to those who support them.
