APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After years of struggling with her mental health in silence—including anxiety and depression so severe she was eventually hospitalised—singer Frankie Bridge is keenly aware of the importance of speaking up and seeking help. Which is exactly what led her to write the aptly-titled Open, in which she gets candid about her lowest moments, as well as how she overcame them. Interwoven with expert advice from the psychologist and psychiatrist who helped her through, Open is as practical as it is powerful—a brave and honest guide to transforming your mental health. Movingly narrated by Bridge herself, this audiobook will have anyone who has suffered nodding along—and help us all find ways to better support those around us.
Customer Reviews
Literally the best self help book
I have read so many self help books on anxiety and this is the only one that actually manages to explain exactly how it is. This is so honest and amazing how Frankie describes how anxiety impacts your mental health. This is a must listen even for family members supporting someone with mental health issues
