Got anxiety? Join the club. More specifically, join the Anxiety Sisterhood. Abs and Mags, aka the Anxiety Sisters, have spent the past thirty years figuring out how to outsmart their anxiety-ridden brains, and the last five years sharing what theyโve learned with a growing online community of like-minded sufferers who are looking for ways to cope better every day.
Whether youโre looking to better understand and manage panic, worry, grief, stress, or phobias, or just want to pause the endless spin cycle in your head, youโll find real-world, research-based techniques, exercises, and insightsโwithout the clinical, confusing, one-size-fits-all approach that isnโt so helpful when your mind is racing, your triggers are in overdrive, and you just want to get back to feeling normal . . . ish.
Most of all, this is a handbook for fighting Shrinking World Syndromeโthat isolating, lonely feeling that comes from letting your anxiety run the show. The stories and suggestions in this book will remind you that youโre not alone. You donโt have to eliminate anxiety from your life in order to feel okay . . . and, yes, even happy.
