About this audiobook

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 book 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 book, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, shows 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 book will show you how.

    Ok for worriers, but not very helpful for someone suffering with extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Misleading description.

    I didn’t realise how much of a worrier I was until I read this. This was extremely enlightening as it allowed me to look at my relationship with worry - something I had never even considered. For many people, beliefs about worry go unchecked for life. This book opens up that can of worms.

    As someone who was struggling with chronic worries, reading this book was a game-changer for me. It not only helped me understand that my worries were a normal part of being human, but also provided me with practical techniques to manage them. I appreciate how this book has brought clarity to my life and helped me regain control over my worries. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for ways to tackle their chronic worries.

    Better for generalized anxiety disorder or people who struggle with general worrying, rather than for those of us with severe worrying (like severe OCD, panic attacks, etc)

    Completely different M.O. than other “worry” books. I have been using this method with much success. I had a complete “AHA” moment. Now I have them regularly because it is part of this protocol. GREAT BOOK.
