Clinical psychologist and TikTok sensation Dr Kirren Schnack has been interviewed for ‘My Anxiety and Me’, part of the BBC ‘And Me’ series which seeks to break the taboo on a range of health, wellbeing and social issues.

In the programme, which you can watch in full on BBC iPlayer here, Dr Kirren discusses panic attacks, OCD and male suicide, the impact of COVID and the pressures of everyday life on young people, and how anxiety can be overcome through everyday rituals, exercise and seeking professional help.

Dr Kirren is an Oxford-trained and practicing NHS clinical psychologist with twenty years’ experience and half a million social media followers. She is the author of Ten Times Calmer, a helpful guide in which she offers a first aid kit of tools to enable you to understand what you’re going through and change how you’re feeling – and it might just be easier than you think.

Not everyone has access to therapy and not everyone needs it, but we could all do with a little more calm in our lives. The ten chapters cover everything from dealing with anxious thoughts and stress to managing uncertainty and safely tackling trauma, each takes you a step closer to an anxiety-free life. Inside you’ll find short anxiety busting exercises with a big impact and a toolkit of well-researched and clinically proven tips that will help you find calm each and every day.

Ten Times Calmer is Dr Kirren’s brilliant guide to beating anxiety and changing your life. Grab your US copy here and your UK copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
