The world is not currently a good place for people predisposed to anxiety. Whether it is facing the uncertainty surrounding the global pandemic, or the pressures of creating a career that is both successful and fulfilling, we have never been a more anxious society. When in the clutches of anxiety, it feels near impossible to have any rational thought, and feelings of fear, panic and terror can quickly take control of your mind and influence your actions. The author of Unwinding Anxiety is Dr Judson Brewer (MD, PhD), an internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, who offers both face to face and app based treatments for smoking, emotional eating and anxiety. This book combines more than 20 years of both research and medical practice to provide a clear program that anyone, no matter how anxious, can use to take back control of their lives.
As someone with anxiety that can become unmanageable, this book has helped me to map my anxiety triggers and the accompanying behaviours and results of this. This has helped me significantly in my day to day life and has helped me understand more about how my brain works.
