Download or read book Anxiety and Avoidance written by Michael A. Tompkins and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you suffer from panic, anxiety, and fear in your day-to-day life? Do you often avoid social situations, activities like driving, or even going to the store because of a fear of being overwhelmed or triggering a panic attack? You might be interested to know that anxiety disorders are the most common mental health disorders in the United States. In Anxiety and Avoidance, psychologist and anxiety disorder expert Michael Tompkins presents a universal protocol to help you cope with anxiety, panic, and fear, regardless of your particular mental health diagnosis. This universal protocol is based on David H. Barlow's "unified protocol," and is a cognitive behavioral approach. Tompkins also draws on mindfulness-based therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that have been used successfully in the treatment of anxiety disorders for years. The book includes present-moment awareness (mindfulness) techniques, motivational tools for overcoming experiential avoidance, and cognitive tools for reframing anxiety and fear. In addition, you will learn how to use your personal values as a vehicle for lasting change. While most anxiety treatments have focused on symptom reduction, this book teaches you the skills needed to better handle the underlying emotional reactions that lead to anxiety and panic in the first place. If you are ready to stop avoiding situations that cause you to panic and get back to living a full life, this book is a powerful resource that can help you make a lasting change using an innovative, transdiagnostic approach.

Tens of millions of Americans are affected by anxiety disorders and many more worldwide.

I finally found the path to freedom from excessive worry, medication, and fear. I have overcome these problems and now live my life with a greater sense of inner peace and calmness. I'm not a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist of any sort. I am simply a normal guy whose life was once overrun with constant worry, fear, and depression. With great determination, research, and trial and error, I have returned to a healthy state of wholeness and optimism. My book details many of the problems I encountered daily, struggles that anyone suffering from anxiety can certainly relate to. I expand in detail upon my journey towards personal freedom, the valuable lessons I learned along the way, and how to apply them to your own life. I discuss why I had several severe relapses with my progress, and how you can avoid the same pitfalls. Some of the highlights of the book include: Education - Explanations of what anxiety is, and how it affects your body and mind. Strategy - How to formulate a plan to overcome your own fears and self-created limitations. Techniques - Discussions of the various physical and mental techniques I found most helpful in my recovery and still practice today, including meditation.

Book excerpt: The truth is that you can defeat your fears. The author of the four-million-copy bestselling Feeling Good offers 40+ simple, effective CBT-based techniques to overcome every conceivable kind of anxiety—without medication. “Few truly great books on psychotherapy have been published, and this is one of them.”—Albert Ellis, Ph.D., founder of the Albert Ellis Institute and bestselling author of A Guide to Rational Living We all know what it’s like to feel anxious, worried, or panicky. What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based on reality. When you’re anxious, you’re actually fooling yourself, telling yourself things that simply aren’t true. See if you can recognize yourself in any of these distortions: All-or-Nothing Thinking: “My mind will go blank when I give my presentation at work, and everyone will think I’m an idiot.” Fortune Telling: “I just know I’ll freeze up and blow it when I take my test.” Mind Reading: “Everyone at this party can see how nervous I am.” Magnification: “Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going to crash!” Should Statements: “I shouldn’t be so anxious and insecure. Other people don’t feel this way.” Self-Blame: “What’s wrong with me? I’m such a loser!” Mental Filter: “Why can’t I get anything done? My life seems like one long procrastination.” Using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on practical, solution-based methods for understanding and overcoming negative thoughts and emotions, When Panic Attacks gives you the ammunition to quickly defeat every conceivable kind of anxiety, such as chronic worrying, shyness, public speaking anxiety, test anxiety, and phobias, without lengthy therapy or prescription drugs. With forty fast-acting techniques that have been shown to be more effective than medications, When Panic Attacks is an indispensable handbook for anyone who’s worried sick and sick of worrying.

Download or read book Stress Fear Panic Attacks and Anxiety Relief written by John Austin and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not for everyone. If you think that there is a simple remedy, a kind doctor, or one pill that can instantly relieve you of anxiety and fear, I have to disappoint you: nothing like this exists. To change your mental state, you will need to work on yourself, and that will require your active participation and determination. But all your efforts will be greatly rewarded when you finally overcome your own resistance and triumph over your problem, whether it is fear, anxiety, or panic attacks. This is a journey with a prize at the end that is worth every single step that you take on your way to it: greater awareness, self-control, inner peace, and self-confidence. Who is this book for. If you are ready to actively take action, make effort, and consciously work on changing your mental state, an exciting journey that will help you regain your wellbeing, positive attitude, and cheerfulness of spirits awaits us. Drawing from a decade of work with hundreds of clients, this book weaves different cases of anxieties, panic attacks, fears, and so on with techniques to defeat them. The result is a provocative read that provides 3 effective methods to overcome the most of your phobias: EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE (EFT); EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR); DAVID BERCELI'S METHOD. However, if you prefer to stay passive, despairing, and hoping that someone or something will help you without an effort on your part, you should not read this book. It will not help you. My book describes techniques for working on your inner state. Choose one technique that works for you in your current circumstances and use it until you reach a tangible result. All of the methods that this book describes work well with each other and can be practiced consecutively or concurrently. What is truly important is not which technique you choose, but that you actually use it. This book is a tool chest. And tools do not do anything by themselves. They wait until a person takes them in their hands and begins to use them to create the change that they want in their life. I am offering you a way to learn these tools, but the rest depends on you. Sometimes I get asked: "How effective are these techniques? How fast will they give the results?" My response is: "And how effective is a plane or a saw?" The faster a human hand directs a saw, the faster it saws. The better a person uses a plane, the more effective it is. "Well, and how should we learn these techniques so that they work fast and effectively?" people ask me. It is very easy: just start using them and do it regularly. Each time you will get better and better at it. Use a tool for a week and you will become a master and, in another week, an expert on how to use a particular technique to achieve maximum results. This book is suitable for all genders and ages: men, women, children, teens, and adults.
