Product Description

Overcoming Anxiety is divided into workbooks that are designed to help those experiencing mild to moderate levels of anxiety and panic. The first workbooks will aid the reader in identifying and assessing the extent of their clinical problems. During sessions with a healthcare professional the client can decide which workbooks would be most helpful to their condition and work on the exercises at their own pace at home.



The workbooks are written with clarity, are well-structured and are easily accessible; the boxes, checklists, bullet points and lack of jargon all aid this difficult process. Overcoming Anxiety can be used alone or in conjunction with the Overcoming Depression book.

Customer Reviews

Overcoming Anxiety
An excellent CBT self-help tool. The format is clear and the activities excellent, plus all the points made are reviewed at regular intervals to reinforce them. It was recommended to me by my GP and I can see why he considers it so useful. If you suffer from anxiety and are prepared to work at overcoming it, then this is the best book I have come across so far. I recognised so many of the symptoms which are referred to and was able, immediately, to see ways around them. It all takes time and is a bit like doing homework, but I can see some light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in many, many years.

Overcoming Anxiety
I found this book to be a practical and well-balanced approach to something that can be hard to understand, especially to people who have not had mental 'distress' . When you have a book that is approachable and clearly written with sound advice and easy-to-read it is worth buying, which this book is.

excellent
I bought the depression workbook 1st on the advice of my therapist and it has really helped but i suffer with anxiety too so I decided to get this one as well. It's basically got the same content in it as the depression book but there are extra parts to it on obsessive compulsiveness and health related anxiety, which i found insightful. It's still the basic principle of the other book and it's laid out the same with the same way to tackle thoughts.
