Rooted in Who You Are: An Anxiety Workbook for LGBTQ+ Adults

Anxiety is hard enough on its own. But when you've grown up navigating a world that wasn't built with you in mind — managing how you're perceived, bracing for rejection, carrying messages about who you're supposed to be — anxiety takes on a different shape. This workbook was written for that experience.

Rooted in Who You Are is a CBT and DBT-informed guided workbook designed specifically for LGBTQ+ adults who want practical tools for managing anxiety while also exploring how identity, minority stress, and internalized messages show up in their mental health. It's not about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself — and building skills that actually fit your life.

Inside, you'll find:

• Clear, accessible explanations of anxiety, the nervous system, and minority stress

• CBT tools for identifying and challenging anxious thoughts — including the ones rooted in internalized shame

• DBT skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships

• Reflective writing exercises and repeatable worksheets you can return to again and again

• A values and identity section grounded in self-compassion and affirmation

  
  

This workbook is written from an affirming, non-judgmental perspective that honors the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities and experiences. It can be used on your own, alongside therapy, or as a between-session resource with your clinician.

Created by the clinicians at Bodhi Counseling & Consulting — a practice rooted in diversity, equity, and the belief that good mental health care should feel like it was made for you.
