Gândești exagerat de mult înainte de a acționa? Ești înclinat să faci previziuni negative? Îți faci griji că e posibil să se întâmple ce poate fi mai rău? Te afectează prea tare feedbackul negativ? Ești foarte autocritic? Dacă răspunsul este afirmativ, suferi de anxietate. Vestea bună este că poți învăța să îți gestionezi capcanele anxietății – ezitarea excesivă înainte de a acționa, reflectarea îndelungată și îngrijorarea, perfecționismul paralizant, teama de feedback și critică și evitarea (inclusiv procrastinarea). Răspunde mai întâi la chestionarele care te vor ajuta să apreciezi în ce stadiu te afli în raport cu un blocaj specific anxietății, apoi află ce schimbări de gândire și modificări comportamentale îți recomandă autoarea. Bazate pe principiile terapiei cognitiv‑comportamentale, acestea pot fi folosite în viața de zi cu zi pentru a depăși blocajele și a avea succes în relații, atât în viața personală, cât și în cea profesională.
