Product Description
Product Description
"Mastering Anxiety" is a major step forward in the way we understand and deal with a wide range of anxiety disorders - from phobias to post traumatic stress. Based on the human givens approach to psychotherapy, it contains science-based insights into human behaviour, our needs and the ways in which we get those needs met that will help you overcome a wide range of anxiety-led behaviours and take back control of your life. Down-to-earth and easy-to-read, this book gives clear advice and practical steps for anyone wanting to conquer their own over-anxious behaviour - whatever it is - or help others overcome theirs. Full of practical techniques for learning how to relax, it also teaches you how to avoid "black and white thinking" and gives examples of how to change your perspective on something you fear, to reframe your thinking and trick your brain into not making the inevitable catastrophic 'pattern match' which causes your anxiety. And encouraging case studies, covering all kinds of anxious or phobic behaviour show you how others have successfully mastered their anxiety. "The Human Givens Approach" series was launched in October 2004 with How to lift depression...fast. This immediately became a bestseller and has consistently ranked as the topselling book on depression on Amazon since its launch. In May 2005, "Freedom from Addiction" was published to critical acclaim. Each book in the series explores a recognised psychological or behavioural problem and shows in clear, non-jargonistic language how to treat it effectively with psychological interventions. Future titles will cover: anger, psychosis, disturbed children, self-harming, obesity, workplace stress, antisocial behaviour, ageing, disability and saving families.

Format:Paperback
This book on mastering anxiety is as easy to follow and as helpful as the ones on depression and addiction by the same authors, both of which I read as part of my counselling course. It's packed full of useful explanations and practical help and I think anyone suffering from any form of anxiety or fear problem would find it invaluable. GPs should give it away to patients; it would save the NHS a fortune. As well as helping anxious people overcome their phobias, panic attacks and PTSD just as surely as their wonderful book on depression lifts people out of black moods and hopelessness, it shows you how to find out if a GP, counsellor or psychotherapist is competent to help you or not. For anyone whose life is made miserable by excess anxiety, this book is worth its weight in gold.

I was recommended this book by a family member as my daughter is struggling with anxiety. It has given me a fantastic insight into what she is going through, as well as some great tecniques to help her overcome her anxiety. It is very easy to follow and full of practical information and tools that can be used by anyone, anywhere at any time. I would recommend this book not only to people suffering with anxiety, panic attacks or PTSD but to anyone who has a friend or family member who is affected by anxiety. It has certainly helped me to help my daughter in controlling her anxiety, and when she is finding it hard I'm sure we will dip back into this wonderful book to refresh our memories and get back on track.

If you read one book on anxiety, make it this one. It is written in a really easy to read style, clearly and simply explains what happens when panic attacks strike, and illustrates that anxiety about your anxiety makes it worse! It has some simple and useful suggestions for helping the reader deal with their own type of anxious feeling too.
This book helped me to understand how prevalent and 'normal' anxiety is across society, and helped to reduce my anxiety about dealing with any panic attacks, either for myself or others.
Best of all, it does not patronise with oversimplification, neither does it blind the reader with scientific vocabulary. It is so 'friendly' that it took me just 2 short sessions to read it from cover to cover. I'm keeping it handy for ready reference too!
