When Worry Works Book
As a parent of one teen and one pre-teen, and a sufferer of anxiety disorder, I was intrigued with When Worry Works.
The book provides practical strategies to manage and reduce worry, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion exercises. One of the strengths of this book is its focus on the role of self-awareness in managing worry. The book is so relatable and provides a humorous approach to better understanding ourselves.
When Worry Works book includes numerous exercises and guided meditations to help readers cultivate self-compassion and develop a more compassionate mindset.
