The Worry Trap
How to Free Yourself from Worry Using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Author: Chad LeJeune, Ph.D.
đ§ď¸ About the Book
Do you ever feel trapped in your own thoughts â caught in a loop of âwhat-ifs,â worst-case scenarios, and fears you canât shut off?
In The Worry Trap, clinical psychologist Dr. Chad LeJeune offers a compassionate, research-backed way to finally loosen worryâs grip. Drawing on the powerful principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this groundbreaking book shows that the more we fight our anxious thoughts, the stronger they become â and that true peace comes not from control, but from acceptance, mindfulness, and purposeful action.
Rather than trying to suppress or eliminate your worries, Dr. LeJeune teaches how to âde-fuseâ from them â to observe anxious thoughts without getting pulled in. Through step-by-step exercises, youâll learn to make room for discomfort, act according to your deepest values, and live meaningfully â even in the presence of uncertainty.
This is not a quick fix or a promise of a worry-free life. Itâs a practical guide to living fully with peace of mind, regardless of what your anxious brain throws your way.
