We have choices. We can blame ourselves and others, avoid certain situations and worry. Or we can acknowledge our thoughts and feelings, and take our power back from anxiety by facing it with understanding, courage, and compassion. Using the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dr Hayes helps us to recognize, understand, and take control of the unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and actions that cause anxiety. This book offers hope to people who struggle with anxiety, as well as to those who support them.
