Its time to outsmart your worry and anxiety. Drawing on the same cutting-edge psychology presented in author David Carbonells The Worry Trick, this irreverent, on-the-go guide offers ten powerful "counter-intuitive" strategies to help you put worry in its place-anytime, anywhere.Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question our decisions and ourselves, worry about the future, and it fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. But what if we understood that anxiety is merely a trick of the mind, trying to convince us were in danger? Anxiety is like a magician behind the curtain, playing subtle tricks on us to convince us that we're in danger when were not. When we understand this, we can observe our anxious feelings with some distance.Based on the authors popular book, The Worry Trick, this helpful and humorous guide identifies the trick of chronic anxiety, and provides the ten most powerful techniques based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you respond differently to panic, anxiety, worry, and phobias. Once you learn to respond differently to the worry trick, youll be able to break the cycle of chronic anxiety for good.Instead of trying to manage your anxiety or push anxious thoughts away-techniques that youve probably already discovered dont work-the ten powerful strategies outlined in this guide will empower you to actually change how you respond to worry and anxiety, so you can get your life back!
