Overcoming Overthinking:

“Emotions are contagious, and we don’t always realize how our anxiety affects not just us but the people around us.  Anxiety—and its friend, perfectionism—can be debilitating in the workplace when not managed effectively, and this book has clear and sensible advice for anyone to improve their repertoire of coping skills.”

“We all know someone who has been touched by an anxiety disorder or may have experienced it ourselves, particularly in the workplace, where employee mental health is increasingly recognized as an important part of individual well-being and employee engagement. Overcome Overthinking is invaluable in the workplace for managers or employees to help themselves support their teammates or help themselves. A great series of 36 actionable and practical strategies, all told with a sense of vulnerability, honesty, and fun!”

“What a joy it is to read a mother-daughter collaboration about how to overcome overthinking. Often these patterns are passed down generation to generation, so strategies to break them expressed through family dialogue is powerful. I plan to share this book with my own son, and other members of my family. Especially during the holidays when overthinking can run rampant, this is the gift that keeps on giving.”

“As a Developmental Psychologist, I appreciate how the authors have expertly curated the most effective strategies for coping with daily anxiety, and explained them in a tangible and approachable way. As a mother of two teenage daughters, I am grateful for the way this book demystifies complex emotions, and takes subjects that were previously taboo out of the darkness and into the realm of healthy family conversations. And as a plain old human being, I am deeply moved by the example set by Deborah and Sophie to show up to life with vulnerability and love.”

Deb and Sophie’s conversational questions and answers provide the right amount of honesty and suggestions to provide a sense of calm through the clutter of life. Anyone looking for insights and ideas to assist with taming stress and anxiety will find this book easy to read and full of useful, understandable advice. Parents, family, coworkers, friends – this book is for you if you have someone in your life dealing with anxiety at work, school and life.”

“Guess what? Anxiety is a part of your life. The bugger of it is that it’s mostly hidden and frequently misunderstood. And whether it’s your anxiety, a family member’s anxiety, a colleague’s or perhaps all of the above, Deb and Sophie’s book provides a practically powerful punch of helpfulness in an authentic, humorous, and transparent format.
