Dr Kathleen Smith

Author

Dr Kathleen Smith is an American licensed therapist, author and mental health writer who specialises in helping people understand and manage anxiety. Everything Isn't Terrible offers a refreshing and practical approach to dealing with anxiety, drawing on the principles of family systems theory developed by psychiatrist Murray Bowen.... Rather than focusing on quick fixes or individual symptoms, Smith helps readers understand how their anxiety is shaped by their relationships and family patterns, and how changing their role within these systems can produce lasting improvements in their emotional wellbeing. Her writing is warm, witty and genuinely helpful, making therapeutic concepts accessible without oversimplifying them. She has contributed to publications including the Washington Post and Psychology Today. Her audiobooks and books appeal to readers who want a thoughtful, systems-based approach to understanding and managing their anxiety. Read more Show less
