Is anxiety a problem for you? Have you tried to win the war with your anxious mind and body, only to end up feeling frustrated, powerless, and stuck? If so, you're not alone. But there is a way forward—a path into genuine happiness, and a way back to living the kind of life you so desperately want. This workbook will help you get started on this new journey today. Now in its third edition, The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety offers trusted tools to help you take charge of your anxiety, fears, and your life. Grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this fully revised and updated edition offers compelling new information on self-compassion and values, as well as new exercises, activities, and practices to help you achieve genuine peace of mind.
With this workbook, you'll learn how your mind can trap you, keeping you stuck and struggling in anxiety and fear. You'll also discover ways to nurture your capacity for acceptance, mindfulness, kindness, and compassion, and use these qualities to weaken the power of anxiety and fear so that you can get back to what truly matters to you. Anxiety can show up in your life when you least expect it. And there is no healthy way to "turn off" anxious thoughts and feelings like a light switch. But with this workbook, you can learn to break free from the shackles of anxiety and fear.
