5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anxieties, Phobias and Panic: A Step by Step Program for Regaining Control of Your Life (Paperback)
After 42 fairly anxiety-free years, I had a monster panic attack (my first!) last March. This book has been a tremendous help. Recommended by my therapist (I had never seen a mental health professional before, either), the book is clear, complete, simple, and helpful. When dealing with something like generalized anxiety and panic, a strong prescriptive approach seems like just the thing. I devoured the book faster than the author recommends, but I'm now going through it again. Like a good novel or film there is a lot more here than you will discover or be able to use on the first pass. I especially recommend the breathing and relaxation exercises for quick anxiety first aid.

A great self-help book for people with anxiety problems., 26 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anxieties, Phobias and Panic: A Step by Step Program for Regaining Control of Your Life (Paperback)
This is a superb self-help book for people with anxiety problems, especially the ones resulting from lack of social skills and low self-esteem. It has helped me a lot, and I still read it over & over for reinforcement.

Finally, the power to be the hero of my own life., 16 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Anxieties, Phobias and Panic: A Step by Step Program for Regaining Control of Your Life (Paperback)
After buying a very, very expensive self-help program from an infomercial, I discovered this book and found it to be much more helpful and effective. This book has changed just about every aspect of my life, and done so in a way that is so effective that I'm always reminding myself of all the amazing things I can now do without giving them a second thought. I just do them, then realize later that I'm doing things I wouldn't have dreamed of before. Six years ago I couldn't even talk on the telephone because my panic disorder was so overwhelming. With therapy I got to the point where I was "ok," but now, with the help of this book, I'm discovering a whole new world. Everything in this book makes sense. And, boy, does it ever take the pressure off. I can't recommend it enough! And I never would have found it without amazon.com. What a great world this is!
