A Positive Way to Live with Anxiety

 

Anxiety can have an immense power, affecting the way we think, feel and behave.

Keeping us inside, away from people, places and opportunities. Making us question, doubt or criticise ourselves. Sending us into a sea of worry, which threatens to overwhelm us.  But what if we stopped trying to fight the waves and, instead, learned to ride them? 

 

This compelling, warm and accessible book looks at anxiety differently. It helps us

understand how to drop the struggle with it and listen to what it is saying. And to start celebrating the unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely - so we can let intuition guide us, not fear. To see sensitivity as a strength and anxiety as a tool. Not a trap.

 

Readers will discover how to live alongside their anxiety well, with tips, exercises,

expert research and stories from those who’ve learnt how to ride the worry wave,

including a multi-million album selling musician, a top author and a national TV

presenter. Written by psychologist and broadcaster Dr Sian Williams, this book

explores performance anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety, panic, self-criticism and people-pleasing to present a new way to live with anxiety in kinder, better-informed and more understanding ways.

 

Dr Sian Williams is an award-winning broadcast journalist and chartered

counselling psychologist. She's spent years counselling those living with anxiety,

both in the UK's NHS and privately and has also worked with media organisations,

governments and businesses to help prevent staff burnout.  

Sian is also one of Britain’s most trusted broadcasters, having spent four decades in TV and radio, including eleven years hosting BBC Breakfast. She now presents BBC Radio 4's Life Changing and BBC Radio 3 Unwind. Her first book Rise: Surviving and Thriving after Trauma was described by the Daily Mail as 'the book every woman MUST read'. Anxiety is her lifetime companion.
