This audiobook offers hope to people who struggle with anxiety, as well as to those who support them.

People have been sharing their life stories with Psychologist Allison Keating for the past 18 years and the words she hears most often are ‘I feel overwhelmed’, followed by ‘I thought I’d have it figured out by now’.
