Anxiety Workbook Laura Morrissey

This workbook is based around the "Anxiety Compass," and gives control to the individual who struggles with anxiety. Having worked as a Counsellor with both adults & adolescents for a number of years it became evident that a recurring, underlying theme is that of anxiety. Laura has crystallised her approach into an easy to use self help or guided workbook based around the "Anxiety Compass." It looks at life as a whole. One part of the 'compass' being out of alignment means that life does not run smoothly. It helps the reader assess their life as it is now, find out what is missing and assists them in planning a future life that is less anxiety driven, by addressing the areas that feel out of balance. They can see where things are going wrong for themselves and can then change things.

Laura quotes, "I have found that change is the key to feeling better. Whether that be a change in behaviour or acceptance of the things out of our control, change is at the root of managing anxiety."

The workbook can be used by individuals or can be worked through collaboratively with another person; a teacher, therapist or a parent. It can be completed at the readers own pace. Not all sections may feel relevant, so the reader can just skip those parts and focus on areas that they know need some attention.
