The Power of Anxiety: How to ride the worry wave Sian Williams
Event details
Anxiety can have an immense power, affecting the way we think, feel and behave. It keeps us inside, away from people, places and opportunities. Makes us question, doubt or criticise ourselves. Sends us into a sea of worry that threatens to overwhelm us. But what if we stopped trying to fight the waves and, instead, learned to ride them?
Award-winning broadcast journalist and chartered counselling psychologist Sian Williams looks at anxiety differently: rather than squaring up to anxiety, we should listen to what it is saying.
Join Sian, author of The Power of Anxiety, for tips, expert research and stories from those who’ve learnt how to ride the worry wave to thrive and find out how to start celebrating this unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely.
Book sales
You can buy copies of many of our speakers’ books from Fox Lane Books, a local independent bookseller and Festival partner. In some cases, author signed bookplates are available too.
