Anxiety for Everyone

Sandra Ringarp & Marie Tillman

Relationships, the climate, the body, social media, the future, life – there is much that may give you anxiety. Anxiety can feel like a flutter in the belly to full-blown panic, or a heavy, wet blanket over your entire world. But what is anxiety really? What can you do to cope with it? When is it time to maybe seek help, and who do you turn to?

Anxiety for Everyone is a book for young adults which gives you an understanding of what anxiety is and how it works. Psychologist Sandra Ringarp helps us sort among our thoughts, feelings, and what happens in the body, in order to make the experience less frightening. You will learn what may increase and decrease the threshold for anxiety, and what you can do when you have anxiety. Because anxiety is normal and human. Cartoonist Marie Tillman illustrates the different forms of anxiety with disarming, dark humor.
