A deeply personal guide to putting anxiety in its place by award-winning author and psychotherapist Dr. Stephanie Dowrick

Anxiety is the most treatable of all our psychological challenges. Yet more and more of us are anxious, and familiar treatments can feel impossible to access or plainly inadequate.

With a radical whole-self, whole-body approach, and the courage to tell her own story, Dr. Stephanie Dowrick puts knowledge and power back where it belongs: in your hands. Based on a rare depth of research and insight, Your Name Is Not Anxious offers an informed, compassionate perspective to help readers facing the loss of confidence and resilience that comes with chronic or acute anxiety.

Using the power of story and the latest research, readers will learn to:
- Calm the body
- Quiet the mind
- End self-blame and helplessness
- Radically reduce stress
- Understand the power of mind-body-brain links

Even in the most difficult circumstances, immediate change is possible. Dr. Dowrick's commitment, wisdom, and honesty shows you how.
