L'ANXIÉTÉ APPRIVOISÉE

A BOOK TO HELP READERS DISCOVER THEIR STRENGTHS AND FOSTER PERSONAL GROWTH IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

As adults and teenagers, how are we supposed to handle the stress and anxiety we feel on a daily basis? For many of us, the symptoms we experience may be diffused, situational or occasional, which can make the problem difficult to diagnose. Written in a warm and approachable style, this book aims to demystify and normalize the anxiety that can tend to seep its way into everyday life—and help us cope by keeping us from falling into habits that will only make emotional discomfort worse. The book includes practical strategies and exercises to work through for all of the various concepts that are explained. If we can learn to tame our anxiety, we can turn it into positive and helpful energy.
