The Anxiety Workbook for Women Over 40
A No-Nonsense CBT Guide for the Midlife Mind
You have held it together for everyone else. Your own mind deserves the same care.
After forty, the mind that once kept everything moving can start spinning at 3 a.m.: health, children, parents, money, and the text nobody answered. With hormones in flux, a household running in your head, and two generations on your phone, this is not a personal failing. It is an alarm system turned up too high, and it can be retrained. Built on CBT, this workbook is practical, direct, and meant to be written in.
Inside this book
- Map your anxiety signature: the Forecaster, the Scanner, the Manager, and the Ghost
- The Midlife Storm: what perimenopause can do to the alarm system, plus the medical rule-outs worth one appointment
- The mental load on paper: the invisible roster, redistribution requests, and a letting-go log
- The sandwich years: separating actionable worry from alarm and taking an honest look at guilt
- Thought records and exposure ladders, including a body ladder for palpitations and heat surges
- Sleep in the night-sweats years, a wine-and-coffee tracker, and movement as medicine
- A 30-day plan and a full practice library with daily logs, 20 thought records, weekly reviews, and trackers
Use it on its own or alongside the companion guides in the Midlife Mind series.
