New Year, New Book Guide for 2023
Anxiety Therapist Book Recommendations
It’s almost time to ring in the new year! With 2023 right around the corner we know you might be feeling anxious or stressed with all the emotions that come with the start of a new year. Mindful Living Counseling Therapists understand how overwhelming this season can be for our clients. So we have picked five of our favorite books or journals we highly recommend you read this month or in 2023.
As an Anxiety Therapist in Orlando, I like to recommend books to help my clients feel calm and settled.
This list is a gentle reminder of books you can read to comfort and distraction you when you start to feel anxious or stressed.
We recommend picking up any of the books anytime throughout the year when you are in need of refocusing your energy and diving into some self-care. In this list, you will find books to help with stress management, learning about your trauma, and a journal to ease any anxiety. If you haven’t already check out 5 Books We Recommend for You To Bring In the Year 2022.
1. A Book to Learn More About Your Trauma
As the new year approaches and you start doing some self-reflecting you may become curious about your past and any trauma you may have endured. Our first book on the list is What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing. You will be able to learn from deep and personal conversations with Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry. This book helps you shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”.
2. The Perfect Journal to Calm Your Anxiety
We love the journal, Calm Your Anxiety because it takes you through calming exercises, stress-relieving, trauma-sensitive practices, daily gratitudes, and meditation. You can take this journal with you anywhere and use it whenever you start to feel anxious or stressed. Sometimes you need a few minutes with this journal to help ground you and ease your thoughts or worries.
3. A Book to Help Manage Your Stress
Managing stress is never easy! Orlando Therapists know managing your stress takes time, patience, and at times some guidance. The book Mindfulness for Stress Management: 50 Ways to Improve Your Mood and Cultivate Calmness is a great tool for helping you be in the moment when life gets stressful. Another great feature of this book is it is broken up by the different types of stress. So, whether it’s your job, family or friends this book will help guide you through and hopefully provide you relief.
4. Something to Read for Inspiration
When you need something to inspire you and also give you great insight we recommend reading Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, this beautiful story shares the bond between a student and a mentor. Tuesdays with Morrie will leave you with your heart full. You will have learned great life lessons and inspirational quotes.
5. A Book for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Our final book recommendation for 2023 is Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks. This book is a game-changer for anyone who struggles with anxiety or panic attacks. It provides informative techniques for responding to your anxious thoughts that you will find useful. Once you have purchased the book you can also download the free DARE: Panic & Anxiety Relief application that provides daily guided meditations!
