Book Description

May 1, 1999

Discover the True Source of Excessive Anxiety— And How You Can Stop It!

Do new situations give you heart palpitations, knots in your stomach and shortness of breath? Are you so worried about what others think that you avoid new activities for fear of looking foolish? Do you agonize about making the right decision and then second-guess the ones you make? Do you have a pervasive feeling that "something's" just not right? If so, then noted author, therapist and former anxiety sufferer Rex Briggs can help free you from your fears with this step-by-step program. You'll discover: 

  1. why anxiety is not a disease to be controlled, but a mes­
    senger to be heeded;
  2. how normal anxiety differs from excessive anxiety;
  3. why unresolved shame could be a driving force behind
    your fears;
  4. how to deal with unrealistic expectations of yourself and
    others;
  5. how to set realistic goals and boundaries and see yourself
    as a valuable person;
  6. how to harness anger constructively in relationships;
  7. plus, much more . . .  

By sharing his personal triumph over excessive anxiety, as well as his clients' successes, author Rex Briggs offers you the confidence and the tools you need to reclaim your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awakening, September 18, 2000
By 
This review is from: Transforming Anxiety, Transcending Shame (Paperback)
Really all I can say is WOW, I bought this book to try to help my daughter whom suffers from anxiety, and ended up helping myself. This book has actually helped me push for some dreams I had in my early years, and I know I can achive them. And for my daughter, she is doing wonderful. She still has her moments, but for the most part she is good, and I would recomend this book to anyone, even if they don't suffer from Anxiety. The exercises in it are very awakening.
