Expert Tips: Supplemental Resources for The Anti-Anxiety Notebook
By the Therapy Notebooks Team
Managing anxious and stressful thoughts requires a multi-pronged approach. Included below are additional tools, resources, and worksheets—made by therapists—that you can use alongside The Anti-Anxiety Notebook.
Resource 1: Soothe the Fight or Flight Response
What It Is:
Self-soothing techniques are critical for when your mind is sounding alarm bells.
How to Use:
Try all of the techniques in the resource a few times, and identify which one is most effective for you.
Resource 2: Understanding Anxiety
What It Is:
This resource looks similar to The Anti-Anxiety Notebook journal entries. But instead of focusing on naming your thoughts, you’ll focus on naming your behavior.
How to Use:
Try going through this exercise as a companion to The Anti-Anxiety Notebook journal entry and as a standalone. When you understand how your behavior is tied to your thoughts, it makes it much easier to understand why reframing is helpful and effective.
