5.0 out of 5 stars The bridge to recovery, August 25, 2003

By	Downward Cat (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

I've danced around with generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks off and on for several years. So, I've read many, many books. After my symptoms restarted recently, I found this book. This is a great book to read after you understand the various mental and physical sources and symptoms of anxiety disorders.
This book helps you put your knowledge to use and create your own healing program.
It's simple, yet comprehensive, covering diet problems that can exacerbate anxiety, thinking patterns that cause anxiety and relaxation techniques to use when you're experiencing anxiety or when you're just taking relaxing time for long-term healing. But, you still have to decide which techniques will work for you and use them every day. This gives you many options in a simple, straightforward format.

This book is informative, well-written, and is an easy to read guide for coping with anxiety. But it is more than that. We live in a world of stress, and that world can seem overwhelming at times. This is a guide that can be helpful for anyone struggling to cope with challenges in life. I highly recommend it.
