Recommended Reading
These are two books I often recommend to clients working through anxiety. They are not a replacement for therapy, but many people find them helpful in deepening their understanding and building practical skills between sessions.
The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook
by Edmund J. Bourne
A structured, practical guide offering CBT-based tools for managing anxiety, panic, and avoidance.
The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook
by Kristin Neff & Christopher Germer
A compassionate, research-based guide to building a kinder relationship with yourself, especially when anxiety or self-criticism feels overwhelming.
