Anxiety is a normal and sometimes healthy process, but in a world that feels increasingly unsafe and unpredictable, many of us find ourselves in its grip far more than is comfortable or truly necessary. If you subconsciously believe that worrying or investing in your anxiety will keep you safe, it is easy to get unwittingly hooked on it. To break free of anxiety, you must break free from the underlying beliefs that you cling to and the cyclical thoughts that perpetuate it.

Addicted to Anxiety will help you understand anxiety from the perspective of addiction, identifying your triggers and learning how to break your habits and actively replace them with new, more productive behaviours. It will put the power

back in your own hands to live a calmer and less anxious life.

Owen takes the tangled, overwhelming problem of anxiety and unravels it with clarity and compassion ... turning the hard-to-understand into simple, actionable wisdom that anyone can use to reclaim peace and take control of their life.
