High-Functioning Anxiety: A 5-step Guide to Calming the Inner Panic and Thriving

• the main symptoms of high-functioning anxiety and how they emerge in daily behaviour
•the two sides of high-functioning anxiety: how you see yourself vs. how you present yourself to the world
•how to release old modes of thinking and habitual thought patterns and replace them with healthy attitudes
•practical methods for creating and sustaining long-term lifestyle changes, so that you can calm the inner panic, find balance, and thrive

This transformational book will show you how to break the toxic cycle of high-functioning anxiety – for good.
