I really enjoyed working through this book. It offered a great opportunity to pause and reflect, which allowed me to reconnect with my thoughts and goals. It was refreshing to take the time to slow down, reflect, and reframe my mindset in a meaningful way.

This is a good place to get ideas. Not everything will applicable to everyone but I feel everyone can self reflect with this resource and also can get a good idea or two from this workbook.

This was very interesting and, as an anxiety sufferer, I found lots of useful advice! It was written plainly and I found it easy to understand. I will be advising my students to read this!

This book has helped me to understand anxiety better. Inside I could find a lot of exercises that made me think about life and the way we handle our problems and the solutions. It made me saw my life from another point of view and think about how some wrong decisions I made in the past still affect me in the present and how much I need to fix them. How the author sees anxiety and why it happens opened my eyes about the value we give to some parts of our lifes and that we need to worry more about other parts we don't feed often. For example, nature time, self grow... in order to have a healthy life without anxiety, or with less anxiety we need to invest in ourselves, and also in personal relationships, because even if we don't realise it sometimes is very important to invest in our relationships with other people around us.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for gifting me with a free copy. Opinions are my own and are freely given.

Interesting techniques that include mind, body and spirit. Some enjoyable meditation and reflection practises. But as soon as the writer mentioned using colouring pencils and having my ancestors input into my anxiety… nup. Sorry, you lost me when I was looking for down to earth approach.

*The Healing Anxiety Workbook* by Sheryl Lisa Finn provides a holistic approach to managing anxiety, focusing on the mind, body, and spirit together. Unlike resources that emphasize cognitive techniques, this workbook introduces a wider range of practices, including writing reflections, movement, guided meditations, and rituals. Finn encourages readers to see anxiety as a “messenger,” guiding them to listen to underlying patterns contributing to their anxiety.

As someone with a psychology degree, I found the spiritual elements, like ancestor work and ritual, somewhat excessive, which may not suit readers seeking a more straightforward, evidence-based approach. For individuals familiar with anxiety management techniques, many tools here might feel familiar, as they’re available online. Still, Finn’s blend of practical exercises and compassionate tone may offer unique insights for those open to a mind-body-spirit approach, making it valuable for readers looking for a gentle, reflective guide on their journey with anxiety.

Interesting workbook, with clear exercises and overall good explanations about anxiety and how it works and hinders a life. A little too spiritual for me, but I have a grudge against the spiritual tendency we see everywhere, due to my personal experiene with spiritual people. I don't think it will be helpful for people who have done a lot of research on the subject, you can find the majority of the tools on the internet, but the book might be useful for the persons seeking a quite complete guide to help them in their journey with anxiety.
