Product Description
Product Description
Panic attacks - approximately 5% of the population will experience them at sometime or another. Seemingly coming from nowhere, the dread of having an attack itself, transforms the ordinary world of everyday life into a nightmare of anxiety and suffering. Bev Aisbett has survived Panic Syndrome and reinforces the three basic messages; You can beat this You are not alone You will recover In this refreshing and accessible guide, Bev Aisbett, a survivor of Panic Syndrome, tells us how panic disorders develop and how to recognise the symptoms. With the aid of her inimitable cartoons, she covers topics such as changing negative thought patterns, seeking professional help, and, ultimately, learning skills for recovery. Living With It provides much need reassurance and support, leading the way out of the maze of panic with humour and the insight of first-hand experience.

Clear, consise and really helpful. It tells you exactly what you need to know to get through it all in a sympathetic and supportive way. There is even a section to give advice to those living or around people with Anxiety problems. The whole point is you can make it lighthearted in a serious way so it dosen't feel like the end of the world, and this really helps, because after all, it's only panic and you will get through it, just give yourself kindness, patience and a good book like this...
Format:Paperback
As someone who has been experiencing anxiety for some time, I was desperate for some relief from the symptoms that I was suffering on a daily basis. Introspection, endless searching for answers on the internet and reading in-depth self help books only served to make me feel worse - until I was recommended Living with IT by a family friend.
Don't underestimate the power of this book just because it appears to portray anxiety in a light hearted manner by using cartoons - it is the author's simplistic style that makes this book so accessible to everyone. Bev Aisbett has anxiety down to a 'T' - her reasoning and techniques on how to deal with anxiety/panic attacks are invaluable. Although a book doesn't replace professional assistance if it's required, this is a wonderful item to have with you when you feel like you need to gain some perspective during those particularly difficult moments and will bring a smile to your face when you need it most. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to cope with panic attacks or is dealing with anxiety or self doubt - it really does work wonders!

A fun approach to panic attacks
22 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Anyone living with anxiety/panic attacks knows how terrifying life can become. I have read many books on panic and to tell you the truth some of them have scared me so much, I've almost had a panic attack! This book is very easy to read and it's fun, the cartoon characters are fantastic. Bev Aisbett definitely knows what she is talking about, she's been there. This book gives you an understanding of panic and steps to be free from "IT", quite frankly it covers everything. The authors lighthearted approach to something that is very serious is soothing to the reader. I would recommend this book to anyone who suffers with panic and wants to reclaim their life, it would be the first step towards recovery.

YOU DO HAVE UNDERSTANDING!...Read this book and you will see
8 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I do not have PD but I do suffer panick attacks...and only panick attack sufferers can understand how 'IT' feels like. This is a MUST BUY!!!...my school lent this book to me...and after reading it...I had to own one.
This book is very easy(light, relaxing)to read, it uses humour to help you understand your situation...eg: it compares the anxiety to a monster called 'IT'..... with a good uses of humour and simple cartoons...I understood my situation...when I was reading it...it felt as if the book was a mirror...i felt understood and felt like I was part of the book because 'the book understood me so much'...have you ever wished that your loved ones can read your mind?...th book does that... after reading the book...I had to get one for myself to keep...but I went to many book stores and they were all sold out...and i had to wait 2 weeks...which i couldn't...so i had to try getting it from the net(i never shopped from the net before) this book provides understanding, a lot of help, a break from stress(humour) and is just wonderful ^_^
you may feel that you are surely alone...but I can assure that you are definately not alone

Extremely helpful book
7 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
I am a therapist and have recently recommended this book to numerous patients. One older client had had anxiety for 50 years, and has now reduced her medication to virtually zero and keeps the book around in case she needs to refer to it. All my clients who have anxiety or Panic attacks have found it really helpful.
