The average person has 6200 thoughts a day. Is being tied up in thoughts inevitable? Or can we understand and overcome our anxious thinking patterns?
GP Dr Martin Brunet, who has over 30 years of professional experience and is well known for his accessible mental health videos, explores common anxious thinking patterns such as:
- Catastrophizing
- People pleasing
- Imposter syndrome
- Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
- Intrusive thoughts
- Patterns of OCD
Filled with practical advice and witty illustrations, Dr Brunet considers where these patterns originate from and how to overcome them, taking into account the impact of trauma, cultural heritage, learned behaviours, experiences of shame, hormones and neurodiversity.
Thoughts can so readily ensnare us. This book is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, helpless or trapped in their thoughts.
