About this listen

How do you make sense of worry?

On the surface, anxiety and panic seem to make no sense at all. But if you dig a little deeper, you can understand why we need some anxiety to survive and how it can escalate to become a problem. And once you learn that it really does make sense, you can learn how to overcome it!

Written by GP Dr Martin Brunet, who has over 30 years of professional experience and is well known online for his popular mental health videos, Your Worry Makes Sense explores the logical basis for the common experiences of both anxiety and burnout.

Dr Brunet uses powerful visual metaphors that help you unpack your anxiety, you'll discover...

- Why anxiety can spiral out of control
- Practical strategies to help you manage it
- How to navigate and understand your triggers
- How to identify and manage burnout, a common cause of both anxiety and depression
- How you can begin to break harmful cycles and implement effective techniques to regain control of your mental health
- How your breathing pattern can become disordered when you are anxious, and what to do about it
- How to fix common sleep problems
- The role of both talking therapy and medication in managing anxiety

Firstly, thank you Dr Brunet! I really needed to listen to this book!
I highly recommend reading this book if you are experiencing anxiety or burnout! Or are on the verge of experiencing it!
I have always been know to be the strong one, the resilient one, the one that can manage everything and take on extra. Meditation, yoga, gym and healthy eating have always got me through everything.
This was the case until I have experienced terrifying physical symptoms. The consistent pressure at work and balancing family life have finally got on top of me. I am so lucky to have the support of my GP and I am gradually getting better. It’s not an overnight fix but I will get there. Your book has really me understand why burnout happens, what it can lead to and how I can help myself.
It is so nicely written and your voice is just perfect to listen to. Thank you!

He speaks from the heart, with experience on both sides of the fence as someone who has had anxiety in the past and who encounters it regularly in his practice as a GP.
He describes anxiety, depression and burnout, and the drawbacks and advantages of all the treatments available in an honest and non-judgemental way.
Highly recommend this book.

Excellent, very rational, balanced explanation of why what seems irrational sometimes isn't! Very helpful chapter on burn out which exactly describes me. Feel validated and oddly listened to rather than being the listener. Useful ideas about how to move forward. Thank you so much.
