Description

Author and wellness expert Sherianna Boyle shows you how to C.L.E.A.N.S.E your anxieties, clearing a path for new positive habits, behaviors, and emotions.

Most of us view a detox as a physical experience, but what we don’t realize is that it’s not just our physical bodies that need to be cleansed in order to return to a healthy state. When we’re unable to process our stress and worries, they can become toxic to ourselves and those around us. Wellness expert and author of Emotional Detox, Sherianna Boyle modifies the revolutionary C.L.E.A.N.S.E method to guide you through the 7 steps to a successful anxiety detox. The 7 steps include: Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender, and Ease.

Experiencing reactions to worries, stress, and doubt can put obstacles in our path to a happy and fulfilled life. An anxiety detox is a systematic and mindful way to purge these harmful thoughts. Once freed from this burden, an anxiety detox returns us to our joyful, carefree state.

Emotional Detox for Anxiety is a reset for the soul, flushing out negative feelings, clearing a path for new habits and behaviors, and energizing you to accept peace, acceptance, and pure joy.

My anxiety? It's bad. Really really bad. It causes me stress, takes away my sleep, and honestly makes me wish there were a cure. If I could take a pill to cast it away I would, but alas life is not too kind.

I love reading self help books because they highlight an important fact: I am not alone.

These thoughts are not foreign, I'm not fabricating them, I am not suffering by myself. No, millions of people have anxiety and millions of people get through it everyday.

I am not alone.

One important piece I got from this book is that people with anxiety get into a habit of thinking their feelings are invalid or frivolous. I can't tell you how many times I've cast away my emotions because I believe I am over exaggerating. I learned that that is actually very bad lol. It's the resistance to feeling that exacerbates your anxiety.
It is okay to feel, it's okay to let go.

This book is pretty great, it goes into coping mechanisms which yup, I have em and the sources of anxiety such as genetic factors which *looks at father* definitely. The author has a method called C.L.E.A.N.S.E. which you can read more about when you read this book. Overall, I felt that this is a good guide and taught me a lot more about anxiety and the methods in which you can handle them. It provides you good skills to learn and grow from and I will definitely be purchasing this myself for whenever I feel hazy with stress and worry. Life is hard. It's okay to want to feel better and be better.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this copy of my ARC. All opinions are my very own.

Fabulous book for those looking for some reading relating to moving on and past old hurts. Emotional detox is right, brilliant.

This book was received as an ARC from Adams Media in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was waiting for a book like this to come out because we always get questions on improving mental health and with a donation for our self-help collection we are always looking for new titles that have the latest research in improving mental health especially managing emotions. Sherianna Boyle came up with some clever sayings especially the CLEANSE acronym ( Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender, and Ease) in describing the 7 steps. I also love when an author incorporates a personal experience in each of the steps because in my opinion the reader can easily grasp on to learning the concept rather than relying solely on explanation. This book will definitely be popular with our community and will be heavily circulated.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars..

I received a copy of this via Netgalley for an honest review.

I started this with the hopes of getting a better understanding of something that has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. After finishing it I now feel like I have that as well as the tools to break the cycle. While reading this it felt as though the author was inside my head and giving words to things I never could. I have never felt this seen and heard in my life without being triggered and am truely so excited to make this C.L.E.A.N.S.E a part of my every day life. I recommend it to anyone interested in a different method to dealing with Anxiety.

I feel that people with anxiety feel that how they feel doesn’t matter and society tells them to just get over it. I think we are programmed to cast away negative emotions and just rise above it all. That’s great but easier said than done and sometimes that isn’t the best coping mechanism. Sometimes we need to take a real look at what is causing the anxiety. This book is filled with tools to break the cycle it focuses on what the author calls the C.L.E.A.N.S.E The acronym ( Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender, and Ease) describes the 7 steps involved and the author incorporates a personal experience in each of the steps with ways to make it a part of everyday life.

I recommend it to anyone interested in a different method to dealing with Anxiety. It lets the reader know its ok to feel bad and gives steps to learn to let it go.

This book has solid coping mechanisms and looks at triggers and the sources of anxiety such as genetic factors and trauma. I found it to be a very interesting read. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

Emotional Detox for Anxiety: 7 Steps to Release Anxiety and Energize Joy by Sherianna Boyle MED, CAGS is a truly new book on an approach to living with anxiety. This book gives readers an easy to understand process to release their anxiety, something that is not easy to do. This method is called the C.L.E.A.N.S.E. process and it involves 7 steps that help to process your feelings and find a healing environment to bring back the joy in your life.

Emotional Detox for Anxiety - C.L.E.A.N.S.E. Method

We all know that our emotions really matter. Sherianna Boyle points out that being able to process those emotions matters even more. So let's take a look at what C.L.E.A.N.S.E. stands for;

C - Clear Reactivity

L - Look Inward

E - Emit

A - Activate Joy

N - Nourish

S - Surrender

E - Ease

As you move through this process, and get more comfortable with doing it, you will find that each step takes somewhere between 3 and 10 minutes to accomplish. So unlike some programs that take long periods of time to get to the next level, the C.L.E.A.N.S.E process can be fully completed in one sitting. This makes it possible to come to a good resolution each time to do this process, rather than letting things continue to swirl in your mind.

As you read through the book, each chapter ends with a Recap. This is great for a quick review as you continue to work on the process and make it work for you. One of the sections of the book that I really liked and could use was about creating your Allow Statements. She includes a great chart of various reactions and ideas for allow statements so you could start thinking about your own individual circumstances. For example, if your coping technique is "giving in" you might pick an allow statement to involve being assertive or even allow your expression.

This is a great resource for anyone dealing with anxiety. You will have more control over your feelings and reactions as you work through the concepts presented in Emotional Detox for Anxiety: 7 Steps to Release Anxiety and Energize Joy. Whether you buy this book for yourself, or a caring gift for someone that is close to you, this book will provide continued reference support for many years to come.

This book was really helpful, as someone who struggles with anxiety that often feels intense. It offers a lot of both useful and uplifting advice for coping with anxiety/mental illness. The "CLEANSE" acronym is also both easy to remember and helps focus the objective of dealing with anxiety, too. Also, even though it's not relevant to the book necessarily, I loved the cover (one of the things that initially pulled me to the book)! It's very eye-catching and yet soothing at the same time.

Great book for those looking for some reading that really hits home. Emotional detox is a great title and from a person who has dealt with anxiety it really gives sound advice.

I really liked this!

I have so much anxiety. It's bad. And I've read a lot of these anxiety, self-help books. But I really appreciated this fresh-feeling, new angle of thought about the topic. I liked performing the steps and having practical and concrete steps to follow, which we all know is so rare in life. And most of all, books like this make me feel less alone. Will highly recommend.

Using the holistic C.L.E.A.N.S.E method, Emotional Detox for Anxiety teaches readers to overcome their anxiety by addressing it at the root.
Boyle's method is comprehensive but may seem like quite an undertaking for the already anxious mind.
Thankfully she outlines plans of action in step-by-step detail, so referring to this book in times of unease could be a great help. Even if you don't struggle with anxiety personally, this book can give you a better understanding of those in your life who do, so you can be more compassionate and helpful.
Many thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Emotional Detox for Anxiety by Sherianna Boyle was a very interesting read. She shares her seven steps to release anxiety and energize joy. She has an acronym for her 7 steps: CLEANSE – Clear, Look Inward, Emit, Activate Joy, Nourish, Surrender and Ease.

Sherianna incorporates her own personal experiences to help the reader see the process in action.

I found the recaps at the end helpful. Admittedly there were times I read the recap and decided which chapters to focus on. The recaps will also be helpful as you implement the steps and want a quick refresher.

“Anxiety is your body’s way of attempting to process an emotion.”
“Understanding the roots of anxiety, helps you understand the triggers.”
“Anxiety is a reaction, and in the emotional detox journey we clear reactions, not emotions.”
“Triggers do not represent your truth”

I received this book from author and/or publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

The book follows a simple acronym that allows readers to take the information and apply it to their everyday lives. It allows you to find balance, knowledge and help all in one resource. The book is divided into two sections, the first knowledge of being to able what is anxiety, what creates it and so on, the second is practical explains each step and shows you how to implement it into your life. This book is a good starting point for those looking to handle their anxiety with time, patience and a bit of guidance and knowledge.
