PRAISE FOR MAKING FRIENDS WITH ANXIETY: A WARM, SUPPORTIVE LITTLE BOOK TO EASE WORRY AND PANIC:

'This is a great book: readable, practical and, most importantly, compassionate. Sarah Rayner gives a clear explanation of the common symptoms of anxiety and panic that affect so many lives. She then goes on to give sound advice as to how to cope with these ongoing feelings. This entails a series of strategies that encourage understanding of the anxiety rather than its suppression, aiming to give control of these complex emotions back to the patient. It’s impressive that she admits to her own anxiety issues, and without embarrassment shows how they have affected her life, how she has sought help over the years, and how she continues to deal with them. I will be recommending this book to my patients.' Dr P Fitzgerald, GP

PRAISE FOR MAKING FRIENDS WITH ANXIETY: A CALMING COLOURING BOOK:

'Thanks to Miller, the pictures in this book are enchanting, and Rayner gives us words of real wisdom and humour in coping with anxiety or panic. The tips are really helpful as well, from going for a walk to sowing seeds as a means of feeling more connected and calm. All of us suffer from anxiety at some point in our lives and this is the perfect book to help calm those fears. Lovely.' Laura Lockington, Brighton Independent
