Anxiety Worksheets, Books, and Recordings by Ann Silvers

I understand anxiety because I've dealt with it myself. From that place of understanding, I've helped counseling clients overcome every level of anxiety, from stress and generalized anxiety—to panic and phobias.
I've learned to tackle anxiety from a variety of angles that take into account that anxiety is both a mental/emotional phenomenon and a physical one.
I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have earned certificates in many other anxiety treatment approaches—including neuroscience, hypnotherapy, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health. This broad background enables me to create effective anti-anxiety strategies that build stress resilience by fitting together the right pieces for each individual.
All that learning and experimenting to discover what helps and doesn't help informed anxiety-related books, worksheets, and hypnosis meditations that I've written and recorded.
Anti-Anxiety Resources for Individuals and Professionals
Everything I create is based on decades of working with clients. The ideas have been tried and tested to determine what hits the mark and resonates with people.
Each product is designed for individuals and couples seeking to improve their lives, as well as for professionals who provide guidance and counseling to help others thrive.
So whether you're searching for tools to help relieve your anxiety and improve your stress resilience, or you're a teacher, counselor, therapist, or group leader looking for valuable, practical resources to aid your work, you’ll find something here to help you reach your goals.

Feed Your Calm: Anti-Anxiety Anti-Stress Diet and Supplement Tips for Stress Resilience
I have always included questions about supplements taken and dietary choices, such as caffeine consumption, in personal history intake forms for my clients. But a few years ago, I really upped my game by studying for a Certificate in Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (a relatively new health discipline that appreciates the connection between supplements/diet/lifestyle and mental health).
I spent 4 years researching and writing Feed Your Calm because I wanted to base the book on science rather than popular opinion. There isn't as much research performed about natural ways to improve health compared to that done on pharmaceuticals, but if you dig, there is solid research to be found.
I was already having really good success reducing my own anxiety and that of my clients, but utilizing the advice that I discovered and wrote about in Feed Your Calm has resulted in faster and more long-lasting improvement.
(Disclaimer: I make no promises of benefits and note that books don't replace individual consultations with personal medical professionals.)
Stress-Relieving Hypnosis and Meditation Downloadable Audio MP3 Recordings and Scripts
Hypnosis is a great match for anxiety: it helps you physically relax while it trains your brain to be less anxious.
Each of my hypnosis recordings is designed to listen to any time you have about a half-hour to relax or as you are going to sleep. You can fall asleep two seconds in, and they can still work.
Most people listen to them as they are going to sleep. Many report that it helps them get to sleep more easily (quiets the circular ruminating common with anxiety) and that they get a more refreshing sleep. Several people who listened to the recordings out loud (rather than with earbuds or headsets) reported that not only did they sleep better—their dogs even slept better!
Discover Calm Anti-Anxiety Hypnosis and Meditation helps you relax while you're listening to it, and teaches you practical skills to manage stress in your daily life. This audio recording walks you through five relaxation techniques that you can use anytime anxious thoughts or tension arise.
You may also find another of my hypnosis recordings helpful: Release and Refresh Emotional Detox Hypnosis downloadable recording. It's excellent for effortlessly processing through your emotional baggage from difficult experiences or stressors. It helps lower your emotional pain and discomfort baseline down to a more doable level.
Each of the recordings has a parallel downloadable PDF script that can be used by hypnotherapists and counselors.
