The audiobook 🥹 Now on @audible_com and on its way to @Spotify and other streaming services. It was tremendously difficult to record this and whilst I will forever be mortified to hear my own voice, I hope the new listeners enjoy it! 🥳🥳 @BarbicanPress1

The three years since The Fear Talking's UK release has seen an incredible response - each message from someone who it has helped has meant the world, from readers who experience anxiety to those who live with someone with anxiety @BarbicanPress1 @UniOfHullOnline @UniWriting
