Journal Therapy for Calming Anxiety: 366 Prompts to Calm Anxiety and Create Inner Peace

Description

A 366-day journal filled with inspiring quotes, tips, and prompts, all utilizing mindful journaling to understand, cope with, and overcome anxiety and stress in order to gain peace and clarity. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association, a staggering 40 million American adults struggle with anxiety, most of whom never receive treatment. The origins of anxiety can be complex and may be attributable to a stew of genetics, brain chemistry, personality, trauma or life events. Generally, though, it's not useful to explore the "why" of anxiety, but is more productive to focus on the here and now, developing new skills to support behavioral, emotional, and neurological change.As we all know, change can be hard, and it takes time. Kathleen Adams, LPC, has distilled her 35 years of clinical experience into this 366-day journal to ease readers into the process of overcoming their anxiety through mindfulness. Through weekly cycles, readers will learn guided introspection from the author, practical cognitive techniques from professional counsellors and psychologists, and writing exercises from fellow patients who have found journaling to help with anxiety.
