you know, we we pile on so much judgment and s and self doubt and critique and we really try to run away from it and we're so hard on ourselves and that just stimulates the anxiety more.
Um but we don't for a lot of for an awful lot of people, myself included, there might not ever have been a big thing that says, Oh, that that day and that thing that happened is exactly why she got wound up being anxious.
It can just be a load of tiny things layering together.
Um and that's I wanted to help people tease that out in this book.
Like, let's take a helicopter view of your life.
Let's look at the factors that are maybe contributing that you think are so not a big deal that you would just diminish and, you know, rubbish and that actually quietly
crank up the volume on the alarm in your in your system 'cause that's all anxiety is.
It's an alarm in your body that's just um firing off and when it gets to a point where I was where it's chronic and you're you know, it's that's all the time, you're living in this constant state of
M apprehension.
It's it's not does there doesn't have to be something that you're anxious about then.
Then it's just that you've kind of flipped over from stress into anxiety mode where everything feels a little bit unsafe and all your thoughts are kind of tinged with fear.
So looking at all the other books that were out there that of course ha all have merit and are really helpful, like you say, they were kind of theorizing about mental health and anxiety and sharing someone's experience and people could maybe take bits and bobs and dip in and out.
But from the perspective of someone who was so extremely anxious and desperately looking for someone to show them what to do and tell them, I I didn't want to be told, oh, you know, it's all about what works for you and you know, you just have to figure it out.
I wanted to be told.
I wanted like a
prescription.
So with this book
what I think is refreshing about it is it's quite a prescriptive approach.
Of course I'm not saying you need to do this, you should do this, but I think when someone finds themselves
enveloped in anxiety and really suffering.
