Emotional Detox for Anxiety

My anxiety? It's bad. Really really bad. It causes me stress, takes away my sleep, and honestly makes me wish there were a cure. If I could take a pill to cast it away I would, but alas life is not too kind.

I love reading self help books because they highlight an important fact: I am not alone.

These thoughts are not foreign, I'm not fabricating them, I am not suffering by myself. No, millions of people have anxiety and millions of people get through it everyday.

I am not alone.

One important piece I got from this book is that people with anxiety get into a habit of thinking their feelings are invalid or frivolous. I can't tell you how many times I've cast away my emotions because I believe I am over exaggerating. I learned that that is actually very bad lol. It's the resistance to feeling that exacerbates your anxiety.
It is okay to feel, it's okay to let go.

This book is pretty great, it goes into coping mechanisms which yup, I have em and the sources of anxiety such as genetic factors which *looks at father* definitely. The author has a method called C.L.E.A.N.S.E. which you can read more about when you read this book. Overall, I felt that this is a good guide and taught me a lot more about anxiety and the methods in which you can handle them. It provides you good skills to learn and grow from and I will definitely be purchasing this myself for whenever I feel hazy with stress and worry. Life is hard. It's okay to want to feel better and be better.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this copy of my ARC. All opinions are my very own.

Fabulous book for those looking for some reading relating to moving on and past old hurts. Emotional detox is right, brilliant.

This book was received as an ARC from Adams Media in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was waiting for a book like this to come out because we always get questions on improving mental health and with a donation for our self-help collection we are always looking for new titles that have the latest research in improving mental health especially managing emotions. Sherianna Boyle came up with some clever sayings especially the CLEANSE acronym ( Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender, and Ease) in describing the 7 steps. I also love when an author incorporates a personal experience in each of the steps because in my opinion the reader can easily grasp on to learning the concept rather than relying solely on explanation. This book will definitely be popular with our community and will be heavily circulated.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars..

Such a helpful book for anyone who suffers with anxiety. Loved the practical, pragmatic approach to handling anxiety.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received a copy of this via Netgalley for an honest review.

I started this with the hopes of getting a better understanding of something that has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. After finishing it I now feel like I have that as well as the tools to break the cycle. While reading this it felt as though the author was inside my head and giving words to things I never could. I have never felt this seen and heard in my life without being triggered and am truely so excited to make this C.L.E.A.N.S.E a part of my every day life. I recommend it to anyone interested in a different method to dealing with Anxiety.

I feel that people with anxiety feel that how they feel doesn’t matter and society tells them to just get over it. I think we are programmed to cast away negative emotions and just rise above it all. That’s great but easier said than done and sometimes that isn’t the best coping mechanism. Sometimes we need to take a real look at what is causing the anxiety. This book is filled with tools to break the cycle it focuses on what the author calls the C.L.E.A.N.S.E The acronym ( Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender, and Ease) describes the 7 steps involved and the author incorporates a personal experience in each of the steps with ways to make it a part of everyday life.

I recommend it to anyone interested in a different method to dealing with Anxiety. It lets the reader know its ok to feel bad and gives steps to learn to let it go.

This book has solid coping mechanisms and looks at triggers and the sources of anxiety such as genetic factors and trauma. I found it to be a very interesting read. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

and I thought I knew most of the things about mental illness and how to heal, but after reading this book I know nothing. It's a new and effective way to deal with anxiety and early symptoms of depression. prefect 5 star.

This book was really helpful, as someone who struggles with anxiety that often feels intense. It offers a lot of both useful and uplifting advice for coping with anxiety/mental illness. The "CLEANSE" acronym is also both easy to remember and helps focus the objective of dealing with anxiety, too. Also, even though it's not relevant to the book necessarily, I loved the cover (one of the things that initially pulled me to the book)! It's very eye-catching and yet soothing at the same time.

Great book for those looking for some reading that really hits home. Emotional detox is a great title and from a person who has dealt with anxiety it really gives sound advice.

Using the holistic C.L.E.A.N.S.E method, Emotional Detox for Anxiety teaches readers to overcome their anxiety by addressing it at the root.
Boyle's method is comprehensive but may seem like quite an undertaking for the already anxious mind.
Thankfully she outlines plans of action in step-by-step detail, so referring to this book in times of unease could be a great help. Even if you don't struggle with anxiety personally, this book can give you a better understanding of those in your life who do, so you can be more compassionate and helpful.
Many thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Emotional Detox for Anxiety by Sherianna Boyle was a very interesting read. She shares her seven steps to release anxiety and energize joy. She has an acronym for her 7 steps: CLEANSE – Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender and Ease.

Sherianna incorporates her own personal experiences to help the reader see the process in action.

I found the recaps at the end helpful. Admittedly there were times I read the recap and decided which chapters to focus on. The recaps will also be helpful as you implement the steps and want a quick refresher.

“Anxiety is your body’s way of attempting to process an emotion.”
“Understanding the roots of anxiety, helps you understand the triggers.”
“Anxiety is a reaction, and in the emotional detox journey we clear reactions, not emotions.”
“Triggers do not represent your truth”

I received this book from author and/or publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
You can see my full review at More Than a Review dot com where I rate the level of sex, violence, language and drug/alcohol use in books.

The book follows a simple acronym that allows readers to take the information and apply it to their everyday lives. It allows you to find balance, knowledge and help all in one resource. The book is divided into two sections, the first knowledge of being to able what is anxiety, what creates it and so on, the second is practical explains each step and shows you how to implement it into your life. This book is a good starting point for those looking to handle their anxiety with time, patience and a bit of guidance and knowledge.
