The author's lifelong fascination with psychology, ignited in childhood, evolved from a desire to help others into a personal journey of overcoming anxiety. Discovering Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) proved transformative, revealing that resisting anxiety only perpetuated it, while acceptance began to diminish its power. For twenty-five years, she has dedicated her practice to treating various anxiety disorders, employing the same effective tools that aided her own recovery. Her work distills CBT and mindfulness principles, guiding readers to reframe anxiety not as a foe to be fought, but as a manageable inner 'monkey mind' that can be soothed.
