Cover-style image reading Unwinding Anxiety with tangled line art

Unwinding Anxiety was just okay. It offers a few helpful tips, but I was hoping for something more substantial—especially since I’ve been dealing with stress for, well... basically my whole life.

I’ve been to therapy, and much of what’s in this book echoes what you’d already hear in that setting. It touches on how anxiety can lead to bad habits and offers some ways to interrupt that cycle, but I’m not convinced it would truly help someone who’s really struggling.

What bothered me most is that the author never clearly emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help for severe anxiety. I’m sure there are people in serious distress who might turn to a book like this as a last resort—before doing something harmful or worse. That kind of reader deserves a direct, compassionate message that help is out there and that books like this aren’t a substitute for real support.

That being said, if you’re dealing with mild anxiety or just trying to break a few bad habits, this might be a good book to check out. It offers some useful tools and gentle insights—especially if you’re in a relatively stable place and looking to make small, positive changes.

⭐⭐⭐ | Deshacer la ansiedad

Es un libro que te proporciona tácticas sobre varios temas, entre ellos; adicciones, ansiedad, miedos y malos hábitos.
En realidad, es un libro que da mogollón de consejos pero no ha hecho que elimine estos malos hábitos ni que en general, haya propiciado un cambio grande en mi vida. No quita, que los consejos sean buenísimos y si realmente las pones en práctica, son muy útiles. Volvería a leérmelo para darle otra oportunidad.

✔️lo recomiendo para personas que se estén iniciando en los libros de psicología y autoayuda

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

The beginning had some really insightful parts, but as it switched into the second and third gear metaphors, I really struggled to implement/keep up. This may have been, in part, due to the fact that I switched between audio/ebook, but I'm shelving the book and calling it.
