Publisher's Summary

Perfect for listeners of You Are a Badass comes a bullshit-free perspective and a no-frills account of anxiety from the front line. For those facing the same struggle, Caroline explores exactly what anxiety is, its triggers and the various treatments - from CBT, acupuncture and diet to the often debated role of medication - that worked for her. With honesty, humour and a bullshit-free perspective, Owning It is a no-frills account of anxiety from the front line.

Through the filtered lens of social media, it may seem like life's a peach, but for lots of people - journalist and author Caroline Foran included - anxiety is always bubbling beneath the surface. Here, she chronicles her experiences. From being unable to cope with the thought of venturing outside, to walking away from her fast-paced job, to the different and sometimes controversial treatments available - from cognitive behavioural therapy to acupuncture to medication - Caroline shows us how she eventually found a way of owning her anxiety so that it doesn't own her.

With extensive research and help from the experts, Owning It is written with honesty and a bullshit-free perspective. Consider it your ultimate practical guide that aims to get you feeling good again.

A real life realistic approach

An accessible helping hand for those that need it now. I found it very useful and non-judgemental.

Something for everyone with anxiety

I didn’t relate to everything that this book teaches but that’s also a positive. There’s different topics and options covered in this book that covers a broad spectrum of the beast that is anxiety. So don’t give up! You’re sure to find something in this book to help you.
