The “My Anxiety Management Workbook” is designed as a resource to assist older children in understanding and managing their anxiety. It delves into how anxiety can accumulate over time and provides strategies to help mitigate these feelings. The workbook’s objective is to equip older children with one or more techniques that effectively reduce the severity of the physical symptoms associated with stress, thus allowing them to concentrate on their immediate tasks.
The content explains the fight-flight-freeze response as a natural, automatic bodily reaction to perceived threats, which involves the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones are responsible for making us feel more alert and ready for action. The workbook also outlines various physical symptoms of anxiety, such as muscle tension, heart palpitations, and restlessness, and addresses the cognitive, behavioural, and emotional dimensions of anxiety.
By working through this guide, older children can learn to recognise that experiencing moments of anxiety does not define them as anxious individuals. It’s a tool to help them gain control over their anxiety and understand it better.
