5.0 out of 5 stars insightful, practical, extremely helpful book., November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Panic Free : Eliminate Anxiety / Panic Attacks Without Drugs and Take Control of Your Life (Paperback)

I've been having anxiety attacks for years, and have tried so many strategies to cope. Reading this book was the first time I felt things really start to change for real. It seems like Dr. Freeman has put a lot of very thorough research into it, but also there is real compassion in the way she addresses the reader. It's an easy read, but at the same time it's not that empty pop-psychology stuff. She gives hundreds of practical methods to overcome your anxiety. I like the fact that her stance on medication is pretty much neutral because although I'm on medication now, I don't want to rely on it for the rest of my life. This book gives me hope for my future. I would recommend that if anyone has a loved one who suffers from Panic Disorder, this book would make a much-needed and appreciated gift.

This review is from: Panic Free : Eliminate Anxiety / Panic Attacks Without Drugs and Take Control of Your Life (Paperback)

Soon after being diagnosed with diabetes, I started having panic attacks with regularity. The last thing I wanted were more drugs, so this book truly gave me insight and the tools I needed to combat these attacks without drugs. Anyone with anxiety should definitely buy this book and share it with family and friends so they can understand what living with fear can do. <ml>

This review is from: Panic Free : Eliminate Anxiety / Panic Attacks Without Drugs and Take Control of Your Life (Paperback)

I've suffered from anxiety for many years and always felt uncomfortable with medications as a solution. This book offers alternative approaches for people like me who need help but don't want to take drugs. Panic Free is an excellent book that provides very comprehensive tools that really work! I would recommened this over any other book on anxiety.
