Beloit, KS, April 27, 2026—In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Sacred Heart Mental Wellness is reintroducing its bestselling book, The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety, now in its third edition with updated content and a new companion workbook. Originally published in 2022, the revised edition offers a practical and faith-informed approach to understanding and managing anxiety.
“Too often, mental health is treated only as a problem to fix rather than a way of life to strengthen,” said Catherine DiNuzzo, author, licensed professional counselor, and founder of Sacred Heart Mental Wellness. “Many who struggle with anxiety often internalize the lie that they aren’t strong enough, capable enough, or faithful enough to overcome it. “The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety reassures readers of their inherent worth and that anxiety does not define them. It explains anxiety both biologically and spiritually through a Catholic lens, affirming that each person is created good and deeply loved by God.”
The new companion workbook extends the book’s core teachings into daily life. It includes guided prompts, Scripture reflections, Catholic spiritual practices, neuroscience-informed exercises, and insights from the saints. Structured journaling pages and heartfelt invitations to prayer provide practical tools for applying the material and fostering growth.
“We challenge our readers to reach a point by the end of the book where they can thank God for their anxiety—because they understand where it comes from and recognize it as a response God designed to keep us safe, even if it’s often triggered by the wrong stimulus,” DiNuzzo said. “By understanding both the biological and spiritual dimensions of anxiety, we can move from worry to trust, and from overwhelm to rest in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”
The third edition of The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety is now available in English and Spanish. The companion workbook is suitable for individual use as well as group studies, parish programs, retreats, book clubs, therapy, and spiritual direction.
