Description:
Have you been showing your "good" side? Do you make sure everyone else is okay, receive praise for your strength, and look like you have it all together whilst secretly hiding your inner anxiety? If this sounds like you, you may be experiencing high-functioning anxiety




High-functioning anxiety (HFA) is fuelled by the fear of not being "good enough." To cope with this fear, you operate at a very high standard, continually aiming to do whatever you can to show and prove your worth-not to others-but to yourself. Without understanding your high-functioning anxiety, this cycle continues until you break down in exhaustion or burnout. Award-winning psychologist Dr. Lalitaa Suglani is here to tell you that you don't have to live like this anymore. This transformational book will show you how to break the cycle-for good.



High-Functioning Anxiety weaves together scientific research with practical exercises and case studies, and offers a five-step plan that will radically shift how you see yourself. You will learn-

how to release old modes of thinking and habitual thought patterns, and replace them with fresh attitudes and insights, and the ability to look at life from a different perspective


practical methods for creating and sustaining long-term lifestyle changes, so that you can heal from your past and live
