About this product

Details. Condition: Brand New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781841883212. Publisher: Orion Spring. Age Range: Adult / General ReadershipOverview. Anxiety affects millions of people across the UK, quietly shaping how we sleep, work, and relate to those we love. Conquering Anxiety, written by renowned behaviour experts Nik and Eva Speakman, offers a warm, practical route out of that cycle. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, the Speakmans translate proven psychological techniques into everyday language, helping readers understand exactly why anxiety takes hold and how to loosen its grip. This brand-new paperback is designed for anyone ready to trade constant worry for calm, confident, happier days, whether they are new to self-help or building on existing coping strategies.About the Book. Conquering Anxiety is built around the Speakmans' well-known, results-focused approach to behaviour change, developed through years of one-to-one work with clients struggling with fear, panic and chronic worry. Rather than offering vague reassurance, the book walks readers through a clear, structured process for identifying the root causes of their anxiety and dismantling them step by step. Chapters address the situations that most commonly trigger anxious feelings: overwhelming workloads, strained relationships, disrupted sleep, and intrusive, OCD-style thought patterns that can dominate daily life. Each topic is explored with empathy and without judgement, acknowledging how isolating anxiety can feel while making clear that change is genuinely achievable.. Throughout the book, Nik and Eva combine real client stories with straightforward exercises readers can put into practice immediately, at home, at work, or on the move. The tone is conversational and encouraging rather than clinical, reflecting the couple's reputation for making complex psychological ideas accessible to everyone. Readers are guided to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build healthier daily habits, and develop long-term resilience rather than relying on quick fixes. The result is a self-help guide that feels less like a textbook and more like sitting down with two trusted friends who happen to be experts in human behaviour. For anyone who has felt trapped by worry, Conquering Anxiety provides both immediate relief techniques and a lasting framework for calmer, happier living.Key Benefits.
