If you’ve ever found yourself thinking…
Why does my mind feel like it won’t turn off?
Why do I feel overwhelmed even when nothing is “wrong”?
Why do I avoid things that I know would actually help me grow?
This workbook was created for you.
The Anxiety & Stress Workbook is a clinically-informed, therapist-created guide designed to help you understand, regulate, and manage anxiety and stress in your everyday life.
Created by Dr. Rachel Sims, LPC, owner of Uncomplicated Therapy and Breath by Design, and author of Are You Love Smart or Love Stupid, this workbook combines cognitive, behavioral, and nervous system tools to create real, lasting change.
This is not just about coping.

Uncover the specific thoughts, situations, and behaviors that contribute to your anxiety.
Use structured tools like thought logs and reframing prompts to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
