I can’t face this. No one understands how hard it is for me. Sound familiar? Thoughts such as these can trigger us to feel anxious, stupid, upset and frustrated. We have choices. We can blame ourselves and others, avoid certain situations and worry. Or we can acknowledge our thoughts and feelings and take our power back from anxiety by facing it with understanding, courage and compassion. This audiobook offers hope to people who struggle with anxiety, as well as to those who support them.

In this remarkable audiobook Dr Claire Hayes demonstrates how each of us can use cognitive behavioural principles to help us cope. In a clear, practical way she shows us how to make sense of our distressing feelings, to become aware of our unhelpful thoughts and our core beliefs - and most of all, to focus on what we can actually do to improve things for ourselves. Using her unique techniques such as the ‘Coping Triangle’ and ‘Coping Sentences’, Dr Hayes shows us how to proactively manage life’s challenges, such as pressure, rejection, loss, failure, success and change.
