Anxiety: understand, face, settle.
A practical workbook for turning down the alarm, and getting your life back from it. Written for anyone whose anxiety has started to make decisions for them: employed, self-employed, or at home.

What is in it
Five parts, from understanding it to living with less of it.
Understand
What anxiety is and what it is for, a fourteen-point check of how it shows up in you, and the cycle that keeps it going.
Settle the body
Slower breathing with a practice log, letting go of muscle tension, and a grounding exercise for when anxiety is high.
Work with your thoughts
The eight thinking traps, a thought record, telling useful worry from the other kind, worry time, and building tolerance for uncertainty.
Face it
Spotting your safety behaviours, testing a prediction in real life, and an eight-step ladder back into what you have been avoiding.
Stay well
The everyday basics that turn anxiety up or down, your plan, when to get professional help, and a four-week check-in.
