How do you make sense of worry?

Rezensionen / Stimmen
This book is a lifeline for anyone struggling with anxiety or burnout. It's filled with wisdom, practical tools and a refreshing perspective that will inspire you to take back control of your mental and emotional health. -- Dr Sarah Nicholls, NHS Doctor and Burnout Coach An important book for anyone who has faced anxiety whether it be a brief moment of social nervousness or a sustained period of paralysing fear. For those of us who feel ashamed of our worries and anxieties this book lets us off the hook and helps us understand our feelings better. -- Caroline Quentin Dr. Martin has generously poured his many years of expertise into this brilliantly insightful and practical book, with each page teaching me more about myself than I've learned in years. -- Ben West, Mental Health Campaigner 'Your Worry Makes Sense' is an important and very valuable addition to this area of self-help literature. I encourage anyone suffering from disabling anxiety, or anyone caring for or about someone who does, to read it. Sufferers from these conditions tend to be ashamed and this shame prevents them from seeking help or dealing effectively with their problems. Dr Brunet's book speaks directly to them, encouraging them to recognise that they are not foolish, that their condition is real and debilitating, but that it can be overcome. -- Dr Tim Cantopher, Psychiatrist, and author of Depressive Illness: The Curse of the Strong
