Feeling anxious is part of being human; sometimes it can even be necessary or useful.
But what about when anxiety takes over? When you feel like it’s too often dictating your life?
Have you ever considered that you might be addicted to anxiety?
In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author and psychotherapist Owen O’Kane explores how we all unwittingly build habits around our anxiety. This, he argues, is how we become addicted – the behaviours and thought patterns that help us feel safe in the short term ultimately serve to perpetuate it.
Put simply, we get hooked.
The answer? Break the cycle.
How?
Recognize: You must understand your anxiety and identify your triggers before you can start to unpick it.
Tackle: Discover vital techniques for breaking the underlying habits and patterns.
Move forward: Learn strategies for navigating setbacks or relapses on the road ahead.
Addicted to Anxiety will help you understand your anxiety from the perspective of addiction, identifying your triggers and learning how to break your habits so you can actively replace them with new, more productive behaviours for a calmer, happier life.
