Stop Fixing Yourself: The Hidden Trance That Keeps Anxiety Alive

You've read the books. You've traced the pattern back to its root and learned the name for everything you feel. You can describe your anxiety better than the people around you. And you're still standing where you started.

Stop Fixing Yourself begins where most self-help quietly runs out. After more than a decade of Ericksonian practice, Timoteo Crnković kept meeting the same person: someone who had worked harder on themselves than anyone, and stayed stuck the longest. The effort to fix the problem had become the thing keeping it alive.

The book looks straight at that loop. How watching what's wrong with you settles into a kind of trance you hold without realizing. Why social anxiety, worry, and the low steady hum of self-monitoring tend to grow the more attention they get. And what changes when you stop treating yourself as something to repair.

No techniques. No exercises. No steps. A different way of seeing the work you've been doing, and what it's been doing to you.
