Work Anxiety

Ever find that no matter what you achieve, there’s this voice in your head saying, “You’re not good enough” or “It’s just a matter of time before they find out”? You appear confident to others but secretly feel insecure and anxious inside. You hold back on sharing your ideas or going for opportunities because you worry you’re not good enough. You’re constantly overthinking, anxious, and stuck in self-doubt. You’re not imagining it. That’s imposter syndrome, and it’s something many of us deal with. But here’s the thing: the problem isn’t you.

This sequel to the bestselling The Anxious Hearts Guide dives deep into the complex dynamic between anxious and avoidant attachment styles. You'll learn why you crave closeness while your partner needs space, and how these opposing needs create a frustrating push-pull cycle.

Would you like to stop beating yourself up and start harnessing the power of self-compassion? Wish you could take the risks you need to take to succeed? Want to unleash your creativity, increase your productivity, and rediscover the joy of knowing that you are enough? Here are 30 powerful exercises to help you override the “I-must-not-make-mistakes” mind-set of perfectionism. As Shannon’s clinical work with her anxious clients has proven again and again, we can’t change our thinking without changing our behavior.

You don’t avoid speaking because you have nothing to say. You avoid it because speaking costs you something. Work presentations. Wedding toasts. Eulogies. Introductions. Panels. Meetings where all eyes turn toward you. For introverts, these moments aren’t about fear—they’re about exposure, energy, and aftermath. The Introverted Speaker is a practical guide for quiet people who are called upon to speak in real life—not on stages, not as performers, and not as extroverts-in-training. Written by Ashton I. Brooks, this book offers a calm, structured approach to speaking that respects ...

You know exactly what you want to say. So why does the room go quiet the moment you open your mouth? You did the research. You know the numbers cold. You stayed late to prepare. And still — in that meeting, in that negotiation, in that conversation with your manager — the words dissolve before they reach the air. Someone else says what you were thinking. Gets the credit. And on the drive home, you finally hear it: the thing you should have said. This is not a confidence problem. It is a communication anxiety problem. And it has a solution. Speak Her Mind is the neuroscience-backed, ...

You know what you want to say. You just can’t get yourself to say it. You replay conversations in your head. You wait for the right moment. You second-guess your words before they ever leave your mouth. And when the moment passes, you’re left thinking, I should have said something. This book is not about becoming a different person. It’s about finally saying what you already know. Say It Clearly gives you a simple, practical approach to speaking with confidence at work—without overthinking, over-explaining, or waiting until you feel ready. You’ll learn how to move through ...

Millions of people are afraid of work. The situations they fear may be different: public speaking (e.g., presentations and speeches), meetings, conference calls, new assignments, performance reviews, promotions or praise, client consultations, team projects, and so on. But the feeling is often the same: some combination of obsessive worry, fear of being noticeably nervous, clammy hands, racing thoughts, sweating, blushing, heart palpitations, trouble breathing, and more.
