Intentional Calmness. A Program for Combating Stress and Anxiety

Anxiety – a diagnosis or a character trait? Why do alcohol, tobacco, and coffee only make it worse? Why is the notorious time management ineffective? Is it possible to get rid of intrusive thoughts and enjoy the moment? Do you... need antidepressants and sleeping pills, or can we do without them? Roman Buzunov and Sofia Cherkasova, therapists with extensive experience in treating stress, anxiety, insomnia, and other sleep disorders, answer these questions and offer a unique step-by-step program on how to become calm by choice. You will learn to notice stress and anxiety states in a timely manner and clearly understand what stage you are at. Learn to calm down quickly under tension, and improve the resilience of your nervous system. And most importantly – continue to live a quality life, despite the fact that external stressors are inevitable. The book 'Intentional Calmness' will be useful for burned-out managers and exhausted moms on maternity leave. For those who are job hunting or heavily overloaded with work. For people who avoid new acquaintances and are tired of excessive socializing. For those who stress only for significant reasons, and those who are thrown off balance by any little thing. And for everyone who is simply very tired. The book is supplemented with tests, checklists, exercises, and techniques for working with thinking.
