My Anxiety. Workbook for Those Whose Anxiety Prevents Peace

The workbook to Elena Kolesnichenko's book "Anxious Monsters" is an additional tool for those who wish to not only understand the nature of anxiety but also to start changing habitual reactions in daily life. It is created for readers who notice anxious thoughts, internal pressure and self-criticism, a desire to control everything, difficulties with sleep, and fear of uncertainty. Inside, there are theoretical explanations, thought-provoking questions, tests, and practical exercises that help to better understand how anxiety is structured and why fighting it only increases tension. The workbook includes assignments: how to separate anxious thoughts; how to immerse oneself in the present moment; what to do if anxiety prevents sleep; how to clarify life values and stop criticizing oneself. This is a caring and structured accompaniment for independent work, which helps to build inner support and experience each day differently than you are used to. Please note: this guide is not a substitute for psychotherapy.
