Anxiety is Not the Enemy: Managing and Controlling Anxiety in Your Everyday Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985992519)

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by anxiety, unable to control it? Does it make you feel weak and helpless? You do not have to feel that way. Anxiety is not the enemy, it can be managed and when it is managed, it can be a valuable resource.

Anxiety is a fact of life, but admittedly, it can be an unpleasant fact. Its unpleasantness and the fact that it can feel uncontrollable is why many people view it as their enemy, something to eliminate. That view is short-sighted because anxiety is one of our most valued assets. It signals that there is a potential for risk and at the same time motivates actions that reduce those risks. Without it, we would be far less successful. But as you know, it can get out of control, and when it does, it affects our ability to function and makes us feel powerless.

Anxiety can be managed, and this book will tell you how. Managing anxiety minimizes its negative effects without decreasing its positive value. You will learn what anxiety is, how it functions, its role in our daily lives, and several approaches to managing it. The book also covers anxiety disorders and their treatment.
