About this audiobook
There’s a reason you can’t simply think your way out of anxiety. It’s not a matter of willpower, weakness, or imagination. It is biology.
It’s Not Just in Your Head is a guide to understanding anxiety from the inside out — written by a doctor who has lived it, studied it, and watched it quietly destroy the lives of people sitting across from her desk.
Across fifteen chapters, you will travel through the neuroscience of fear, the hidden cost of chronic stress on your body, the vicious cycles that keep anxiety alive, and the relationships that feed it or heal it. You will recognise anxiety in places you never expected to find it — in perfectionism, in workaholism, in the person who always seems to have everything under control.
This book will not tell you to breathe deeply and think positive. It will tell you the truth — about your amygdala, your cortisol, your attachment patterns, your hormones, and your brain’s extraordinary capacity to change.
