Goodbye Anxiety Book

Goodbye Anxiety (GBA) was written a month before undergoing brain surgery to remove a benign meningioma tumor from the olfactory groove section of my brain.  This area of the brain controls taste and smell.  The surgery occurred on March 26, 2018.  To date, my smell and taste are still compromised.  I can’t smell a thing.  And while I can still enjoy food, I no longer experience the joy of tasting the difference between a watermelon and blueberry jolly rancher.  GBA is an interactive 30-day, faith-based, workbook that shares the coping strategies (spiritual and pragmatic) I used to overcome the terrifying anxiety attacks I once suffered, quietly, with for years. And ironically, it was during this diagnosis (one of the few REAL scary times in my life) where I begin to gain control over my anxiety by using many hack strategies I share in this book.
