About this listen

Anxiety - it's the worst: choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking, brain cutting out, bad decisions. You're a human being, so you know exactly what's being said here.

Dr. Faith Harper lays it all out: what anxiety is, what it's good for - that's right, it's actually a necessary response that helps to keep us alive in bad situations - how to know when it's gone overboard, and practical tips on how to deal with it when it gets bad. This book is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-or-fight-or-freeze responses, and for chronic anxiety. It's also good for folks who aren't daily burdened by anxiety, but want to better cope with those tough situations that affect us all. Listen to this and breathe!

Some good coping techniques and ways to help anxiety, with information on what anxiety is. However, one part of the "Advice" is to name your anxiety. I love the concept of naming feelings such as anxiety to help regulate and understand what's being internalised. Although, the book mentions naming it after an ex?? Who wants to be reminded of an ex when having an anxiety attack?

Good practical advice

Love listening to the books by Faith G Harper. A great and “to the point” way of educating you about anxiety

Great

Be patient and listen to the book, don’t be quick to judge before giving it a chance. The book jumps straight into what anxiety is, where is it coming from and what to do to get over it on the short and long term. For me all the swearing in the book made me not to take anxiety so serious anymore.

Great mini-audiobook

I've got mixed feelings about this book because of the lack of versatile advice for everyone suffering with anxiety.
Although there is some advice, the book simply isn't long enough to go in detail to any single point.
Alright book for how short it is.

Educative book

Really good to hear an author drop a few F bombs and say it as it is… Although it was a little bit more theatrical with those F bombs and it felt it needed to be merging a little bit into the unnecessary. However, overall it was a good grounding in getting your shit together.

Reassuring sleep about anxiety
