The Anxiety Cure: An Eight-Step Program for Getting Well

An Eight-Step Program for Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety disorders cause untold suffering, and they affect one in four people. This book offers an eight-step practical program for fast and long-lasting relief of anxiety symptoms. The Anxiety Cure is written by a father and his two daughters, now in clinical practice together, who tell the inspiring story of how they overcame anxiety in their family. The authors share their step-by-step methods for dealing with the six main types of anxiety, including panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Grounded in the authors' own treatment of thousands of clinically anxious people, The Anxiety Cure:

• Tells how to manage anxiety at home and at work
• Gives action plans for friends, family, and support people
• Provides easy relaxation techniques
• Outlines lifesaving strategies for anxious people with alcohol or drug problems
• Includes dramatic stories, as well as boxes, tools, and forms to chart your personal progress.
