About this ebook
Sought after expert whose advice appears regularly in Psychology Today, the New York Times, and other media outlets, Lynn Lyons offers a refreshing playbook that uncovers the 7 sneaky ways anxious patterns weave their way into our families, our friendships, and our jobs, and provides clear and actionable steps to break the worry cycle.
Ask people to describe anxiety and they’ll start with the familiar physical symptoms: racing heart, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing. Anxiety, they might add, is “freaking out,” a panic attack, a frightening loss of control. But anxiety isn’t always what we think it is, especially now. Anxiety has become the new normal, constant and simmering, disguising itself in patterns and responses we don’t even recognize as anxiety. Patterns like global thinking, inner isolation, and busyness. The Anxiety Audit is a guide for everyone, free of psychobabble and full of relatable insight that can be instantly applied to our everyday lives. The Anxiety Audit uncovers the seven sneaky ways anxious patterns weave their way into our families, our friendships, our jobs, and provides clear and doable steps to change them.
