This Is Your Brain on Anxiety

This Is Your Brain on Anxiety is an essential read for anyone who has ever felt the crushing weight of anxiety. Written by Dr. Faith, this book delves deep into the science of anxiety, breaking it down in a way that's both accessible and empowering. From the tingling, panicked sensations to the overwhelming fear that seems to take over, Dr. Faith explains exactly what anxiety is—did you know it was more frequently discussed in the 1800s than it is today? She also highlights its vital role in keeping us safe in dangerous situations, and how it’s a natural part of being human.

Packed with insightful content, This Is Your Brain on Anxiety not only explores the causes and symptoms but also shows how to recognize when anxiety is crossing the line into unhealthy territory. You’ll find practical tips for managing panic attacks, overcoming flight-or-fight-or-freeze responses, and coping with chronic anxiety.

This expanded edition includes about 30% new content not found in Dr. Faith’s original zine or book chapter, making it a must-have for those seeking both foundational knowledge and fresh, actionable advice. Breathe easier, take control, and start managing your anxiety today.
