Its engaging exercises and worksheets have helped millions of readers make real progress in overcoming problems with anxiety and phobic disorders. The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health (Norcross, et al., 2003) gave the book its highest rating and praised it as "a highly regarded and widely known resource."

If you suffer from anxiety or a deep fear, you are not alone; this is a part of the human condition. But we don't have to suffer endlessly because anxiety has an internal structure in the form of negative thoughts and beliefs powered by emotional energy that has become frozen in place. Uncover these patterns of negative thoughts and you are on the way to making significant change. As a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, I use mindfulness as the primary tool for doing just this, and I would recommend anyone to learn more about the therapeutic use of mindfulness in conjunction with good self-analysis. If you want to learn more, read this book

I started having severe insomnia a few months ago. No amount of sleeping pills could help. Soon afterwards I started having panic attacks and extreme anxiety. I checked this book out from my library and started reading right away.
The pros of this book are, there are so many good points, from nutrition, to exercise, to stress relief, medications, relaxation, lifestyle changes, improved breathing, psychotherapy, positivity (remember MIND OVER MATTER) etc etc. And the advice really does help alot.
The cons: it's a really thick book and covers a great deal of info from panic, anxiety to different phobias. And it really does require work on your part.
My advice is, find out where you need the most help and just skip to those chapters. But the first few chapters are essential. Remember that you will probably need a COMBINATION of treatments. For me personally, I used: medication, A LOT of exercise and yoga, breathing techniques and just taking it easy! Eventually a person needs to wean off of the meds, so it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Good luck, I know its not easy, but remember, that you CAN do this and you WILL.

| This book was immediately and hugely helpful for my significant other and enlightening for me as a partner, and we've recommended it to others who, we're told, have had the same reaction. We're not only reading it, but re-reading it and taking notes and following its advice. It has paved the way for us to make big changes in our lives and relationships. Thank you Edmund Bourne, you are helping people. |

The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition
This book was recommended by my child's psychiatrist to help her with her social phobia. It is full of helpful information although much of it was familiar because she has been in counseling in the past. Nonetheless, it deserves 4 stars for depth and breadth of information, helpful format, and price. Buy it! |
