I suggest this book to help overcome stress, because stress is the perception of a threat and the belief that we do not have the skills to cope. Worry takes over, and we begin thinking about the future and feeling stressed and anxious or ruminating about something we regret from the past. All this obsessive thinking creates stressful scenarios rather than allowing us to deal with the present. Anxiety is a powerful force that makes us question ourselves, our emotions and creates worry. The Worry Trick, us designed to help you break the cycle of worry. When we worry, we get into fight, flight or freeze mode, the stress responses. The techniques in The Worry Trick, teaches you how to see your anxious thoughts in a new way, rather than resist them. It helps you distance yourself from anxious thoughts so you can see with clarity and learn how to break the cycle of stress in your life.
