Product Description
Product Description
The Overcoming Series offers step-by-step guides to self-improvement based on the methods of cognitive behavioral therapy. The series aims to help readers conquer a broad range of disabling conditions-from worry to body image problems to obsessive compulsive disorder and more. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck and is now internationally favored as a practical means of overcoming longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Even when our situation does not change, if we change the self-defeating ways we think, we can make ourselves feel better. This positive, pragmatic approach is popular with therapists and patients alike. The accessible, straightforward, and practical books in this series outline affordable and easy-to-follow treatment plans, and have provided tens of thousands of readers with the help they need to overcome self-defeating behavior and lead happier lives. Books in the Overcoming Series: * Highlight the history and background of the disorder, who is likely to be affected, and what the main symptoms are * Provide a structure ideal for personal use or in a program using guided step-by-step self-help techniques like recordkeeping and problem-solving * Include diagnostic questionnaires, case studies, and workbook-style interactive exercises * Offer authoritative, commonsense solutions to pervasive, difficult emotional problems

A genuinely helpful and practical book. If you're a little tired of all the in-your-face self-help books with wacky titles and unlikely promises, then this - refreshingly - does what it says on the cover. The plan of action it offers does need a degree of commitment. But its worth reading anyway for the reassuring, calmly explained advice. It helped me to travel to Australia - an ambition that I had delayed for 10 years due to anxiety and panic attacks. (I used this book in conjunction with 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' Susan Jeffers).

I have suffered with panic attacks and anxiety for over 6 years, and as most sufferers, have developed many excuses as to why I cant do things in order to avoid an attack. I bought this book along with the Linden method and anything else which assured me I could be cured. What sets this book apart from the rest is that it is so easy to read, the reader can tackle things when they are ready and revisit things as necessary. This book helped me to realise that only I can change the way I react to situations and although it is really hard and sometimes I struggle and revert to my negative thoughts, I am slowly beginning to reclaim my life again. I am starting to do things that I used to enjoy but have stopped myself from enjoying due to the fear of an attack or something horrible happening to me. I wanted to write this review for all those people who are feeling like I did and sometimes still do and want something, anything to help them. This book really is the start of that much needed help.

Overcoming Panic: I bought this a few months ago to help myself and it is one of the best books I know in helping someone overcome their fears. Thoroughly recommend it!
