We've got anxiety wrong. Trying to fix it or get rid of it, doesn't work. This book shows a new way to live with and thrive alongside our worries.
Your Sensitivity is Your Strength
Anxiety can have an immense power, affecting the way we think, feel and behave. Keeping us inside, away from people, places and opportunities. Making us question, doubt or criticise ourselves. Sending us into a sea of worry, which threatens to overwhelm us. But what if we stopped trying to fight the waves and, instead, learned to ride them?
This compelling, warm and accessible book looks at anxiety differently. It helps us understand how to drop the struggle with it and listen to what it is saying. And to start celebrating the unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely - so we can let intuition guide us, not fear. To see sensitivity as our strength and anxiety as our tool. Not a trap.
Readers will discover how to live alongside their anxiety well, with tips, exercises, expert research and stories from those who've learnt how to ride the worry wave, including a multi-million album selling musician, a top author and a national TV presenter. Written by psychologist and broadcaster Dr Sian Williams, this book explores performance anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety, panic, self-criticism and people-pleasing to present a new way to live with anxiety in kinder, better-informed and more understanding ways.
