I'm excited to announce that the Kindle edition of my book, Mindfulness Workbook for Panic Attacks, is on sale today, and the paperback version will be out August 16!

One of the most challenging aspects of dealing with anxiety and panic is how much it can feel like a runaway train. It's easy to become overwhelmed by our emotions or to catastrophize about the future. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple tricks and tools that we can utilize to better manage anxiety. I've included a couple in this post, and there are a ton of them in my new book.
If you find this helpful, please take a moment to order your Kindle copy or to pre-order the paperback version on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3ynXuK1.

Let me know if there are any other tips you’d like me to share!
