Our Anxious Selves

Discussing the outsized role that fear, anxiety and other distressing emotions play in forming fundamental aspects of who we are.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Using recent findings from neuropsychology, this book shows that who we are psychologically starts with the early presence of an easily aroused fear/anxiety system.

It goes on to discuss how clinicians can view people's difficulties with self-confidence and identity, and how self-destructive patterns can be traced back to these systems and what clinicians can do to help.

It also touches on intergenerational transmission of trauma, as well as people's responses to COVID-19, PTSD, and real and imagined threats.

Our Anxious Selves provides deep insights into understanding the complexities of anxiety and its impact on our lives, suitable for both mental health professionals and anyone interested in the psychological aspects of anxiety.
