A practical and therapeutic guide to managing anxiety, written specifically for those aged 14 & 25 by a psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults.
Everything Anxiety Ever Told You Is a Lie is aimed at young people who are experiencing anxiety in their everyday lives, across the breadth of the anxiety spectrum. It emphasises that anxiety is completely normal, and something that can be managed by taking the steps that are right for you. The book contains practical, effective activities and exercises that each reader can apply to their own set of circumstances.
Experiencing anxiety can be overwhelming, especially at such a turbulent stage in life. Everything Anxiety Ever Told You Is a Lie is specifically tailored for the stresses faced by the 14-25 age group, with concise, impactful chapters and strategies that can be realistically applied even in a busy and changeable time of life. Themes include management of uncertainty, values-based living, and identifying meaning and purpose.
Anxiety affects a huge number of people, and it is not something that you have to ignore or push down. This guide is full of expert advice on not just coping with anxiety, but truly managing it, to minimise its symptoms and its effect on your everyday life.
Dr Toni Lindsay is a qualified clinical psychologist who has been working with both adults and adolescents for over 10 years. She works at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, a cancer treatment center in Australia, in the Oncology and Haematology departments and has a special interest in the care of adolescents and young adults with cancer. She is an AHPRA approved supervisor and works predominately from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework. Her first book was titled Cancer, Sex, Drugs and Death (Australian Academic Press, 2017) and focused on the psychological management of young people with cancer. More recent titles include The Cancer Companion and The Certainty Myth, published by Exisle Publishing. During more than fifteen years spent working clinically with adolescents and young adults (primarily in the health context) Dr Lindsay has developed a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges of managing anxiety. She was inspired to write Everything Anxiety Ever Told You Is a Lie after hearing from so many of her young cancer patients that there is nothing out there that speaks to them on the subject. She observes, ‘Through my clinical practice with young people, anxiety is showing up more and more frequently. It is now rare that I will meet a young person who has not identified that anxiety has been a concern for them in the past.’
