by Nick Trenton

How to understand your anxious brain's wiring, soothe it, and get around it. Social Skills for Overthinkers is about more than what to say and when to say it, it is about how to gain your freedom. This book takes a much more clinical route than any others of its kind. We gain an understanding of the issues that hold you back, how to overcome them, and an action plan for success in the future. You'll learn a multitude of tools to get you from "I'd rather not go" to "I can't wait to go!" Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy.
