Bev Aisbett is a counsellor, acclaimed author and cartoonist. Having suffered from severe anxiety in the past, Bev’s subsequent recovery led to her to dedicate the past decade to helping others overcome anxiety, depression and OCD. Bev herself was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and possible manic depression at the peak of her career, as she had just established herself as a freelance cartoonist and illustrator. Alongside panic attacks, the daily sense of terror and dread and a persistently racing heart, Bev dealt with insomnia, trembling, and severe bouts of depression. Bev found help in personifying her fears and anxiety into a character- “IT”. Through giving her anxiety form, and through characterizing her affirmations, Bev created a therapeutic technique, which she saw had the potential to help others.
