People with high-functioning anxiety (HFA) often appear competent and accomplished on the outside, but internally, it’s a very different story. HFA is rooted in fear–the fear of others seeing the ‘real’ us–and can lead to a cycle of overworking, overthinking, and self-criticism. Award-winning psychologist Dr Lalitaa is here to tell you that you don’t have to live like this anymore. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and case studies, Dr. Lalitaa offers a five-step plan that will radically shift how you see yourself.

Not Yours to Carry is a powerful guide to help you overcome shame and break free from the grip of societal expectations so you can deeply connect with your true self. Through a blend of personal stories, case studies, and practical exercises, this book explores how perfectionism, people pleasing, and the masks you wear to protect yourself keep you stuck in cycles of self-doubt and prevent authentic living.
