Sue, Bridie and Phoebe offer lots of very practical and clear ideas for managing anxiety. Finding what works for you is the first step towards being able to influence and manage anxiety.

This book will be a helpful aide to 'getting back on track' for many young people who are struggling with anxiety in their life. -- Kim S. Golding, clinical psychologist
