Your Anxiety Beast And You

Just like The Beast in the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, anxiety is an
emotion that society initially misjudges as the villain. Your
Anxiety Beast and You is a
kinder, more compassionate approach for people suffering from anxiety. Rather
than living with an enemy inside your mind, you're encouraged to see anxiety
for what it really is-an inner hero. It is always trying to protect you from
threats, however, it is completely confused about what are true threats in the
modern world.
Learn how to cope
with your anxiety and train it to be a better inner-companion through
integrating therapeutic methods from compassion-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Gain an understanding of
why society stigmatises anxiety and gain a better understanding of your own
anxiety beast with humour and compassion. Your
Anxiety Beast and You takes you through step-by-step strategies to cope
with the howling of the beast in your mind, the physical effects of anxiety on
your body, and then focuses on ways to come up with 'teachable moments' for
your anxiety to learn that what you fear is not actually a threat.
With over 25 years' experience helping people
with anxiety disorders and OCD, Dr Goodman aims to help you make peace with the
reality of your anxiety. And then to help you re-focus on making your anxiety a
better companion.
