The Calm Within™
A Trauma-Informed Anxiety Workbook for Adults
The Calm Within™ is a gentle, self-guided workbook created by the clinicians at Healing with Grace – Counseling & Ketamine Center.
This resource is designed for adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, panic, nervous system overwhelm, and stress — especially when therapy feels inaccessible, delayed, or you’re seeking support between sessions.
Rather than forcing calm or positive thinking, this workbook focuses on understanding anxiety through a nervous-system-informed, trauma-aware lens.
