Description
"Anxiety, fear and panic - it all makes perfect sense."
Anxiety and burnout can be confusing and bewildering but once you understand them better, it becomes clear that your reactions in both mind and body make complete sense.
Written by GP Dr Martin Brunet, who has over 23 years of professional experience and is well known for his viral online videos that explore mental health, Your Worry Makes Sense explores why anxiety and burnout are not only common but also logical, even when that feels so far from the truth.
Dr Brunet explains the rational basis for anxiety and its protective purpose in our lives. Accompanied by witty illustrations and metaphors that actually 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.
A guide to understanding and overcoming anxiety and burnout from Dr Martin Brunet, an experienced GP with over 153k followers on Instagram and TikTok.

Reviews
'Your Worry Makes Sense' is an important and very valuable addition to this area of self-help literature. I encourage anyone suffering from disabling anxiety, or anyone caring for or about someone who does, to read it.
Sufferers from these conditions tend to be ashamed and this shame prevents them from seeking help or dealing effectively with their problems. Dr Brunet's book speaks directly to them, encouraging them to recognise that they are not foolish, that their condition is real and debilitating, but that it can be overcome.
