The search for inner peace is increasingly difficult in our culture today. Most people who suffer do not have the coping skills or get the support they need to help them manage. How do we become more peaceful when our lives are filled with anxiety and stress?

The user-friendly format allows individuals to directly and quickly engage in the material and learn ways to get relief from anxiety and stress. Taming the Anxious Mind deconstructs the complex treatment of anxiety and stress disorders into a user-friendly and action-oriented guidebook. Parables, infographics, charts, and illustrations supplement the material and creates a more digestible approach to psychological content.Based on real-life case studies and field-tested exercises gleaned from her work as an accomplished Ph.D. and clinical director of a mental health organization in Maryland Taming the Anxious Mind emphasizes that anxiety represents an opportunity to re-train the mind away from destructive thinking towards a healthy mindset. You will learn how to have a different relationship with yourself by mastering an understanding of how the mind works and practicing ways to better control itTaming the Anxious Mind provides: Expert guidance on how to live a fuller life, manage anxiety and stress effectively and experience vitality and peace Success stories from real people who have integrated these approaches successfully in their own lives Self-care activities to initiate lasting joy Practices of mindfulness and meditation to lower nervous system arousal Rituals of letting go to experience a sense of liberation Guidance on limiting unhelpful thinking styles to free up space for positivity and confidence Habits of gratefulness to counteract a negative mindset A life-compass to progress towards a value-informed lifestyle Heidi Schreiber-Pan, Ph.D., is a successful psychotherapist, clinical director, and sought-after nationwide speaker on topics of resilience, anxiety, neuroscience, and occupational burnout.
