Christmas puzzle for this year

This book makes a great read when you‘re trying to get your worries under control. I am a born worrier who tends to snowball drastically through catastrophizing things.
It mixes humour with practical advice beautifully. It makes managing anxiety feel a little less intimidating. I still have days where I snowball but hopefully slowly but surely I‘ll get better at calming the F**k down 🤍
How do you manage your anxiety?
pickI‘ve seen this book around for a while. Last week some school psychology colleagues recommended it, specifically for neurodivergent kids experiencing anxiety, so I decided to add it to my collection.
I‘m big on psychoeducation. If we understand how our brains and bodies work, we become empowered. This is a great book for older primary (elementary) school kids. It‘s great for all kids, not just neurodivergent ones.
It is not fear that stops you from doing the brave and true thing in your daily life. Rather the problem is avoidance. You want to feel comfortable, so you avoid doing or saying the thing that will evoke fear and other difficult emotions. Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run, but it will never make you less afraid.
pickI admire his transparency about his anxiety - it sounds so debilitating and exhausting
I‘m glad he thanks his wife becasue holy shit she lifts and carries the family often
