How to break the habit
By Owen O’Kane
Anxiety is a normal and sometimes healthy process. However, in a world that feels increasingly unsafe and unpredictable, many of us find ourselves in its grip far more often than is comfortable or truly necessary.
Addicted to Anxiety challenges cyclical thoughts
If you subconsciously believe that worrying or investing in your anxiety will keep you safe, it becomes easy to get unwittingly hooked on it. To break free from anxiety, you must first let go of the underlying beliefs you cling to. Then, you must challenge the cyclical thoughts that keep the anxiety going.
Addicted to Anxiety will help you understand anxiety through the lens of addiction. It focuses on identifying your personal triggers and learning how to break old habits. You will also discover how to actively replace those habits with new, more productive behaviours.
This book puts the power back in your hands, giving you the tools to live a calmer and less anxious life.
