Invisible Inheritance: A Guide to Healing Anxiety Across Generations
by Dr. Nicole Thaxton
What if anxiety isn’t a flaw—but a story your body has been trying to tell you for years?
For anyone who has lived with anxiety, been raised by an anxious or unhealed parent, or is trying to parent a child who struggles, this book is a revelation. Blending gripping memoir with over a decade of clinical expertise, anxiety expert Nicole Thaxton, PhD, LPC, CPCS, exposes the hidden patterns that shape anxious families, and shows how they can finally be broken.
With raw honesty and practical tools, Thaxton guides readers through understanding where their anxiety comes from, how it takes root in relationships, and what healing looks like in real life—not perfection, but courage, clarity, and connection. This life-changing book will help you:
Understand your anxiety at its roots and why you've carried it for so long.
Rewrite your emotional patterns in real time instead of letting them control you.
Build a new emotional legacy for yourself and future generations.
If you’ve ever carried more than your share, felt responsible for everyone else, or vowed to raise your children differently—Invisible Inheritance will change the way you see yourself, your past, your anxiety, and what’s possible next. It’s an invitation to explore the anxiety journey in a new way. Start your journey to courage, peace, and healing today.

“This is a powerful, vulnerable, and incredibly useful book. [Dr. Nicole] is writing in a space that a lot of people need, but don’t have words for. It’s personal. It's the culmination of so many generations of experience, and I think it's both healing and brilliant that [she] thought to stop and write this all down… I’m so amazed.” - Beta Reader
