The Anxiety Gremlin loves one thing - to feed on your anxiety! But watch
out, as the fuller he gets, the more anxious you get! How can you stop
him? Starve him of his favourite food - your anxiety - and he'll shrink
and shrivel away.
Starving the Anxiety Gremlin is a unique and award-winning resource to
help young people understand different types of anxiety and how to
manage them, including panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety,
generalised anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Based on
cognitive behavioural principles that link thoughts, feelings and
behaviours, the techniques described help young people to understand why
they get anxious and how they can 'starve' their anxiety gremlin in
order to manage their anxiety.
This engaging workbook uses fun activities and real life stories, and
can be used by young people aged 10+ on their own or with a parent or
practitioner. It is also an ideal anxiety management resource for those
working with young people, including mental health practitioners, social
workers, education sector staff and youth workers.
