Anxiety Is Really Strange, BMA Medical Book Awards 2018, Popular Medicine

Short, science-based, graphic books that explore the tricky business of feeling in relationship to Anxiety, Pain and Trauma.

When can anxiety be good?
How can I change my pain experience?
How does trauma change the way our brains work?
Why can’t we tickle ourselves?

This collection of science-based graphic medicine comics addresses these questions (amongst many others) and makes complex human experiences accessible, engaging and gently humorous.

Written by Steve Haines, a bodyworker and creative storyteller, and illustrated by Sophie Standing, who specializes in human sciences, these comics explore topics that make us fundamentally human – anxiety, pain, trauma, and touch.

This special boxset also includes a useful and beautifully illustrated wallchart.   Buy Now
