Helpful for group facilitators running any type of group, not just anxiety,

This review is from: Working with Groups to Overcome Panic, Anxiety & Phobias : Structured Exercises in Healing (Paperback)
As a psychologist specializing in treating anxiety and also running anxiety groups, this book is a great resource and gives wonderful exercises for running groups. It's arranged so that each exercise is given 1 to 2 pages and clearly marked so you don't have to read the whole book from cover to cover looking for a specific exercise. The group exercises range from physical activity to writing down thoughts, feelings etc. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it often refers to the authors' accompanying book. Therefore if you want a few certain handouts then you need to buy their other book too. This doesn't happen often, I just found it a bit annoying when it did. With that said, the book is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to run groups as anxiety is universal and is guaranteed to affect the participants of any group you run, regardless of whether it's an anxiety group or not. For example I also run Pre-Parenting Courses for first time dads-to-be and the exercises work wonderfully. This is a must for anyone's library who is running groups.Anthony Gunn, psychologist and author of Fear Is Power: Turn Your Fears Into Success

Amazing Book,

This review is from: Working with Groups to Overcome Panic, Anxiety & Phobias : Structured Exercises in Healing (Paperback)
This is a great practical guide to help any professional in creating an anxiety group. It offers multiple activities that you can use to customize the group experience. Moreover, not only does it offer an activity, but also an explanation on the purpose, reasoning, and theory behind it. Great use of CBT and worth every penny.
