Anxiety is treatable. Yet more and more of us are anxious – and increasingly stressed. A whole-self approach with close attention to your body is all that makes sense. That includes understanding the interactions between stress and anxiety, anxiety and depression – and the all-round loss of confidence and sense of self that comes with chronic or acute anxiety. This book can be read in a gulp or tiny sips, matching newest insights around brain-body-mind with a genuinely self-compassionate perspective. And the author’s own story for immediate insight and change.

We live in a crazy-anxious world. And anxiety is affecting millions of lives. Sometimes crushing your confidence or even your sense of self. Yet effective treatment is often inadequate. Or impossible to access. Taking a whole-self approach based on a rare depth of insight and research, plus the courage to tell her own story, and to make that immediately accessible, Dr Stephanie Dowrick puts knowledge and power back where it belongs: in your hands.
All of this is possible even in the most ‘impossible’ circumstances. Stephanie Dowrick’s commitment, wisdom and honesty shows you how.
