About this listen

Are you truly in danger or has your brain simply "tricked" you into thinking you are? In The Worry Trick, psychologist and anxiety expert David Carbonell shows how anxiety hijacks the brain and offers effective techniques to help you break the cycle of worry, once and for all.

Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question ourselves and our decisions, causes us to worry about the future, and fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. Based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this audiobook is designed to help you break the cycle of worry.

Worry convinces us there's danger, and then tricks us into getting into fight, flight, or freeze mode - even when there is no danger. The techniques in this audiobook, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, show you how to see the trick that underlies your anxious thoughts, and how avoidance can backfire and make anxiety worse.

If you're ready to start observing your anxious feelings with distance and clarity - rather than getting tricked once again - this audiobook will show you how.

At times he could have been talking about me directly. Will have to listen again I am sure to remind myself of the techniques. Best line for me was thoughts are like the guard dogs in your mind, barking at everything..

Sensible and sound

This is excellent for both those who worry and for understanding loved ones with anxiety, as it is not easy to explain or understand anxiety if you do not worry yourself.
The narrator was very good and enjoyable to listen to. I listened through once and will do so again to try the techniques that were suggested.

Highly recommend to understand anxiety

Helpful advice but can be shortened to 20 pages. First few chapters are just useless rehash with only last few chapters with actionable solutions. I must say that the actionable solutions are very good

Too long
