Our Anxious Selves masterfully distills the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, making it accessible to a wide audience. Ginot's book has deepened my understanding of the anxiety and trauma I see in my clients and has altered the ways we work together. It has helped me to process and heal my own family dynamics. This book should be read by every practitioner in psychology's allied fields--coaches, chaplains, clergy, spiritual directors, and healers. - Gretchen Martens, Ontological Coach, Spiritual Companion, and Reiki Master.
This is a book about the unconscious roots of fear and anxiety that reads like a novel! In her inimitable, engaging style, Ginot combines neuroscientific research with clinical material, illustrating how, while fear-reactions and anxiety are inevitable parts of life, we can live our lives to the fullest despite anxiety's presence. With rates of anxiety having risen dramatically across the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a tremendously timely and valuable book for therapists, educators, and anyone who wishes to successfully and adaptively ease the grip of anxiety. - Irit Felsen, Professor, Columbia University and clinical psychologist, private practice.
