High-Functioning Anxiety

Do you always show up for everyone else, get praised for your strength, and look like you have it all together while secretly experiencing intense worry, self-doubt, or fear of failure? Do you work hard to please others while feeling disconnected from the ‘real you’?

People with high-functioning anxiety (HFA) often appear competent and accomplished on the outside, but internally, it’s a very different story. HFA is rooted in fear – the fear of others seeing the ‘real’ us – and can lead to a cycle of overworking, overthinking, and self-criticism.

Award-winning psychologist Dr Lalitaa is here to tell you that you don’t have to live like this anymore. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and case studies, Dr Lalitaa offers a five-step plan that will radically shift how you see yourself. You’ll discover:



· the main symptoms of high-functioning anxiety and how they emerge in daily behaviour

· the two sides of high-functioning anxiety: how you see yourself vs. how you present yourself to the world

· how to release old modes of thinking and habitual thought patterns and replace them with healthy attitudes

· practical methods for creating and sustaining long-term lifestyle changes, so that you can calm the inner panic, find balance, and thrive



This transformational book will show you how to break the toxic cycle of high-functioning anxiety – for good.
