In this book, two anxiety experts offer proven-effective cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) skills to help you get unstuck from disturbing thoughts, overcome the shame these thoughts can bring, and reduce your anxiety.

You'll also learn why common techniques to get rid of these thoughts can backfire. And finally, you'll learn powerful CBT skills to help you cope with and move beyond your thoughts, so you can focus on living the life you want.
