Reading this book came at the perfect time for me. I was in the midst of a major life transition and feeling overwhelmed with anxiety. As I turned each page and followed the stories of the characters, I felt deeply seen. Their struggles mirrored my own, and for the first time in a while, I was reminded that I am not alone. What stood out most was how the book explains the roots of anxiety in such a practical, compassionate, and relatable way. Despite working in the mental health field for over a decade and being familiar with many coping techniques, I discovered several new, science-backed strategies here that were both refreshing and effective. Right now, as I continue to journal, do the box breathing, and practice Mind CPR whenever I feel tense and anxious, I am reminded that I can be in control of my brain whenever seemingly fearful situations happen. No matter where you are on your wellness journey, whether you're just starting or have been on this path for years, there is something meaningful for you in this book. It’s a resource that gently guides, educates, and empowers. Thank you, Dr. Rozina, for dedicating your life to helping people like us live more peaceful and fulfilling lives, even amidst daily struggles.

As someone who lives with constant anxiety, reading Ultimate Toolkit to Rewire Your Anxious Brain by Dr. Rozina Lakhani was both eye-opening and empowering. I’ve read books about anxiety before, but this one felt different because it didn’t just talk about symptoms, it showed me how to truly understand what’s going on in my brain and body, and what I can actually do about it. One thing that stood out to me was how clearly the difference between worry and anxiety was explained. I always thought they were the same but reading this helped me separate the two and gave me more language to describe what I was experiencing. That alone was healing. My favorite line from the book was: “Anxiety is not just in our head, it’s in our body too.” That sentence stayed with me. It gave me so much compassion for myself. No wonder it’s hard sometimes that it’s not just thoughts, it’s physical too. I also loved the practical strategies shared throughout the book. They weren’t overwhelming, and they felt doable even in anxious moments. I found myself, like Sarah in the book, jotting down notes and highlights just so I could remember and apply what I was learning. It wasn’t just a book I read; it became a companion in my healing. Dr. Rozina explains the science behind anxiety in such a gentle, simple way that even the most complex ideas felt manageable. I walked away from this book with a clearer understanding of my anxious brain and most importantly, a deeper belief that it can be rewired. If you’re someone who struggles with anxiety, or even someone who supports someone who does, I highly recommend this book. It’s compassionate, practical, and full of hope.
