The Healing Anxiety Workbook: A Guide to Calm Worry and Intrusive Thoughts at the Root

“An exceptional guide for anyone struggling with anxiety. This workbook doesn’t just offer symptom relief—it encourages deep, transformative growth.” —Barry McDonagh, author of DARE

Anxiety doesn’t just live in your head―it impacts your whole system. To find long-lasting relief, we need to work holistically, which means working not only with our mind but also with our body, heart, spirit, and relationships. The Healing Anxiety Workbook offers a practical invitation to do just this.

“Anxiety is a messenger signaling that there are places within that need our attention,” writes Sheryl Lisa Finn. “When we feel bone-and-soul safe—the type of safety that cannot be taken away—intrusive thoughts, obsessions, anxiety, worry, and compulsions quiet down, even when life feels uncertain.” This workbook helps identify the places that need attention and treat them with tenderness and care, helping you to:

• Recognize the roots of your anxiety—and cultivate deep inner safety even amid uncertainty

• Develop stronger self-trust and trust in life

• Take action to create more well-being in your life—you don’t have to stay stuck

• Soothe your body, which carries anxiety in tight muscles, a clenched jaw, or a pounding heart

• Calm the racing thoughts in your mind

• Build connection with yourself, others, and our world

Practices include writing reflections, movement, guided meditations (available as bonus audios), creating your own rituals, working with your lineage and ancestors, and more.

Finn is beloved for her work supporting people through anxiety of all kinds―including relationships, work, life transitions, and more. This workbook, part of the Sounds True Inner Workbooks series, shares the kind of practices and exercises her clients and followers love, designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself, develop a lasting sense of trust, and live with more acceptance and well-being.
