Your Sensitivity is Your Strength
Anxiety can have an immense power, affecting the way we think, feel and behave. It keeps us inside, away from people, places and opportunities. Makes us question, doubt or criticize ourselves. Sends us into a sea of worry that 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 that rather than squaring up to anxiety, we should listen to what it is saying. And to start celebrating this unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely. With tips, exercises, expert research and stories from those who've learnt how to ride the worry wave to thrive, this book will help you unlock the power of your anxiety.
