Summary

A transformative autobiography on managing anxiety by successful journalist India Sturgis

The life-changing power of managing anxiety, one bite at a time.

Description

The life-changing power of managing anxiety, one bite at a time.

In 2018, India Sturgis – successful journalist, mother and wife – was admitted into the Priory hospital with anxiety so crippling she was deemed a risk to herself. On her slow journey back to herself, it became clear to her that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, anyone can suffer from it regardless of external circumstances – but anyone can learn to cope with it too.

On her personal journey to uncover the coping strategies that work, India tried every imaginable avenue: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, CBT, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis, EFT, talking therapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, supplements, changing her diet, yoga, cold water swimming and more. She combines this personal exploration with the latest medical and lifestyle thinking from world leading experts to produce a clear-sighted, comprehensive and – ultimately – human look at anxiety. This is what it’s like to be in the grip of chronic anxiety – and come out the other side.
