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.

*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.

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!
