Anxiety Books and Journals

Three kinds of book, three different days

Children's books are for the littles who are having a hard time understanding their big emotions.

Workbooks are for when reading is not enough and you want a method. Most are built on cognitive behavioural therapy, which means structured exercises rather than encouragement.

Guided journals sit between the two. A prompt asks you something specific, which is considerably easier than a blank page at the end of a hard day.

On not finishing them

Most people do not finish self help books, and that is fine. A workbook you use three exercises from has earned its place. A journal you fill in twice a week is working.

Nothing here has a schedule, and there is nothing to fall behind on.
