The Anxiety First Aid Kit: Quick Tools for Extreme, Uncertain Times by Matthew McKay, Martha Davis, Rick Hanson
4.0
3.5: Sturdy suggestions, slim read, possibly a prohibitive price.
I so like that it is fast, simple explanations for practical interventions for anxiety and depression. As someone who has dealt with both, I think that these are best ingested and understood when not in the thick of it. One on one help with a professional is preferred, but sometimes it isn't accessible. It does talk about applying most to general situations with some acknowledgment of pandemic worries. Though it is a privileged stance for pandemic anxiety at times - some people dealing with anxiety won't have the ability to access and use this book, let alone the time. The cost might be prohibitive for some, so library collections might be best having a copy or even a book club set with a partnership with a professional counselor/mental health professional.
