Anxiety specialist Caroline Cavanagh compares uncontrolled anxiety to a roaring lion that traps you in your comfort zone, then reframes it as a well-trained police dog that stays by your side and becomes useful when you face risk.

Chapters

But it's easier because of the experiences that I've had already. But for a lot of people who don't have their anxiety under control, their anxiety is more like this. It's a roaring lion. And so when that wakes up and roars, they withdraw, and they stay inside their comfort zone. My anxiety, my relationship with anxiety is more like a well-trained police dog. It's by my side, I'm leading it, and when I face risk, I know that it's going to add to my resources. But I would also love you to add to your resources too and learn how to train your inner dog.
