This booklet, created by a team of mental health professionals and young people, aims to help readers understand and manage anxiety. It explains that anxiety is a normal reaction designed to keep us safe by preparing us to deal with threats. The booklet outlines three core parts of the anxiety response: how we think, how we feel, and what we do. It highlights common symptoms of anxiety and how it can limit daily activities, strain relationships, and restrict social and relaxation time. The booklet identifies several types of anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias, and discusses the various causes, such as genetics, life events, family factors, and personality traits. To help readers manage anxiety, the booklet recommends Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which targets the three key parts of the anxiety response. It provides a step-by-step guide to understanding anxiety, learning to stay calm, identifying and challenging anxious thoughts, facing fears, and solving problems. The booklet includes worksheets to help readers track their anxiety, identify anxiety signals, and practice relaxation techniques. The goal is to move from an anxious mindset to a more balanced and helpful way of thinking, enabling readers to cope with anxiety without eliminating it entirely. The booklet emphasizes the importance of setting goals and having a support person to stay motivated and provide guidance. Overall, the booklet offers a comprehensive approach to managing anxiety, encouraging readers to take control of their anxiety and live a fulfilling life.This booklet, created by a team of mental health professionals and young people, aims to help readers understand and manage anxiety.
