And when she feels worried, she picks at her skin. Secretly, quietly, but increasingly compulsively, her skin-picking begins to affect her day-to-day life until she realizes she must unravel the reasons behind it. This sparkling memoir follows the thread of Lauren's anxiety--tangled and frayed--back to its source. Written with rare wit and insight, it is an attempt to redirect the anxiety that's pooled in her fingertips for as long as she can remember, released in odd bursts in caravan parks, on European holidays, at GP surgeries and on the windswept north-east coast. It is a moving and joyful exploration of obsession, forgiveness, stigma and healing, and a true love-song to the north. Thoughtful, unsparing and at times darkly comic, Hands is the masterful debut of a luminous new talent. 600 10 $a Brown, Lauren $c (Journalist). 650 0 $a Anxiety disorders $x Patients $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Compulsive skin picking. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011419.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220616010056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E1D9198ED3911ECB65603C543ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
