ABOUT THE BOOK

Anxiety is a normal human response to stressful circumstances. But sometimes anxiety takes more control over us than we would like, and we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of fear and anxious thoughts. That cycle (sometimes called the spiral of anxiety) can leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and exhausted.

Teenagers and young adults already have a lot on their minds, with the pressures of keeping up grades, navigating their future, and keeping their social life intact. Anxiety can make life even more difficult.

They need to discover that anxiety doesn’t have to own or define them and that they can move beyond the spiral of anxiety. If you know a teenager or young adult looking for help to manage their anxiety, and you’re discouraged by dismissive answers like, “you should just pray more and worry less,” this book is for them.

In Beyond the Spiral, Will Hutcherson and Dr. Chinwé Williams (authors of Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teenagers Through the Power of Connection) help teens and young adults discover six lies that can keep them spiraling in anxiety:

  • I am not safe.
  • I should just ignore it.
  • It’s all in my head.
  • I have no control.
  • I’m going to miss out.
  • I can do it alone.

Then they help readers discover the truths to replace those lies, along with practical strategies to break free from the cycle. Not only will they learn coping skills as if on the couch of a licensed therapist, they’ll also discover how to apply those skills from a faith perspective.

Beyond the Spiral seamlessly combines both faith and psychology to give a teen or young adult everything they need to stop believing the lies of anxiety and to thrive instead of just surviving life.
