HOW IT WORKS

At the start of The Anti-Anxiety Notebook, you'll check-in on your anxiety and set intentions for what change you want to see and feel. Plus, read helpful therapist tips to get started journaling right away.

Knowing what you want to get out of The Anti-Anxiety Notebook will help you build self-awareness, motivation, focus—and track progress and growth—as you begin using the tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

We want to empower you with research and mental health knowledge about your lived experience with anxiety. Take some time to skim through the introduction and resources in the back to orient yourself to the journaling experience.

When we understand how or why a tool or method works, we’re often much better equipped to put it into practice. Our therapists distilled some of the best practices for anxiety so you can contextualize your day-to-day journaling practice in proven methods.

Each journal entry is designed for you to use daily for ongoing reflection, or for when you need it. They're meant to take the pressure off by giving you helpful prompts and options for how you want to journal.

Most of us have tried (and struggled) to insert a daily journaling exercise into our routines. Instead, the journal is here when you need it, so it never feels forced or like a chore.

Each journal entry includes a Note From a Therapist with open space for continued writing. These are therapist-crafted tips, prompts, and guidance to help you cultivate deeper self-awareness and more “aha!” moments.

Once you've had a chance to process and reframe your stressful situation, the reflection gives you a chance to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.

The Anti-Anxiety Notebook is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the best-researched and most effective form of psychotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

The notebook primarily includes CBT, an evidence-based mental health treatment considered the gold standard for treating anxiety. In this notebook, you will practice becoming aware of the relationship between your thoughts and your feelings, empowering you to challenge and adjust them over time. We have included multiple CBT resources throughout the book and appendix to also further support your needs. Other tools, tips, and reflection questions are also available to help you discover which therapist tools work best for you.

We made a few improvements to The Anti-Anxiety Notebook. We’ve changed the notebook’s look and feel and updated the journal entries. You’ll notice that we’ve added an extra page of blank journaling right after the thought log entry. That way, you can continue processing the situation through more free-form journaling before reflecting on the Note From a Therapist.

We’ve also changed the interior page color to a sky blue, and have increased the opacity of the text color to help with legibility. Note that we have kept the text size the same due to page limitations.

The illustration on the center of the cover depicts a triangle where each side is a different type of line. The first is a straight line, the next is a squiggly line, and the last one is a scribbly line. This triangle represents the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy triangle: where thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all impact each other in a way that increases (or decreases) our anxiety. The different lines represent the diverse (and sometimes unpredictable) ways our anxious thoughts manifest.

The purpose of this journal is to help you feel better by guiding you through the tools therapists and researchers consider the most effective for anxiety and mental health. It is designed to give you full autonomy; you can start however you want, go in order or not, and pick up whenever or wherever. We generally recommend using the journal entries whenever you feel anxious or stressed in order to best identify, track, and improve patterns in your thinking.
