Anxiety is the real pandemic of our modern ages.
What can we do about it? It’s time to take a deeper look.
I’m Anxious and Can’t Stop Overthinking is a book that deeply understands the anxious and noisy brain. Take a journey with Leah and Dr. Amanda—Leah is a typical anxious and overthinking patient who suffers from negativity and false beliefs, and Dr. Amanda is a therapist extraordinaire who corrects her beliefs and sets her on the right path.
Every fictional therapy session contains elements that you can immediately recognize in your own life. There are 10 dialogues that take you from problem to solution and cure.
In the therapy sessions with Leah and Dr. Amanda, following techniques are all taught and used:
• The empty chair Gestalt Technique of talking to your inner detractors
• How to create behavioural experiments to test and validate your beliefs or smash them.
• So-called shame-attacking exercises to clear your head of negative spirals and thoughts
• Affirmations—not the useless woo-woo kind, but the ones that reallymake a difference to your mindset
• How to postpone your worries and schedule in worry time, instead of constantly being bombarded by them
Through this book, international bestselling author Nick Trenton helps you learn therapy and CBT techniques in an entertaining and educational way.
