Your Mind Made That Up — A Straight-Talking Guide for Anxious Minds

If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own thoughts…

overthinking every interaction, replaying conversations, feeling drained by social media, or stuck in a cycle of anxiety you can’t switch off — this book is for you.

Your Mind Made That Up is not another preachy self-help book. It’s a practical, honest, and refreshingly human guide designed for teenagers and their parents to understand what’s really happening inside the mind — and how to stop being controlled by it.

At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful idea:

Your mind lies to you — not to hurt you, but to protect you.

The problem is, those protective lies often keep you stuck in fear, intrusive thoughts, and constant self-doubt.

This book helps you recognise “the liar in your head” and take back control.
