Description
Find relief from worry, fear, perfectionism, and intrusive thoughts through working with your mind, body, and spirit.
“An exceptional guide for anyone struggling with anxiety. This workbook doesn’t just offer symptom relief—it encourages deep, transformative growth.” —Barry McDonagh, author of Dare
Anxiety doesn’t just live in your head―it impacts your whole system. To find long-lasting relief, we need to work holistically, which means not only working with our mind but also with our body, heart, spirit, and relationships. The Healing Anxiety Workbook offers a practical invitation to do just this.
“Anxiety is a messenger signaling that there are places within that need our attention,” writes Sheryl Lisa Finn. “When we feel bone-and-soul safe—the type of safety that cannot be taken away—intrusive thoughts, obsessions, anxiety, worry, and compulsions quiet down, even when life feels uncertain.” This workbook helps identify the places that need attention and treat them with tenderness and care, helping you to:
• Recognize the roots of your anxiety—and cultivate deep inner safety even amid uncertainty
• Develop stronger self-trust and trust in life
• Take action to create more well-being in your life—you don’t have to stay stuck
• Soothe your body, which carries anxiety in tight muscles, a clenched jaw, or a pounding heart
• Calm the racing thoughts in your mind
• Build connection with yourself, others, and our world
Practices include writing reflections, movement, guided meditations (available as bonus audios), creating your own rituals, working with your lineage and ancestors, and more.
Finn is beloved for her work supporting people through anxiety of all kinds―including relationships, work, life transitions, and more. This workbook, part of the Sounds True Inner Workbooks series, shares the kind of practices and exercises her clients and followers love, designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself, develop a lasting sense of trust, and live with more acceptance and well-being.

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.
Claire L, Reviewer
*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.
