Real Help --No Bull.: Ninety-nine percent of the books I've read that were supposedly going to help me with my panic attacks have been (to put it charitably) so NOT helpful. Mostly they tend to skip out on the hard-core practical advice, hoping that your doctor and/or therapist will fill in all the difficult blanks. But Panic Free rocked my world. Even though it's easy to read (I found the writing style kind of entertaining!) all the info is there, and it makes sense, and -- best of all-- it is user-friendly. In order to feel like any book is helping me get better, I really need proof it's working. Since there are exercises to do in here -- and since they are totally working for me -- I feel way more confident that I can recover FOR GOOD. In all, I highly recommend this book.
Get out of the cycle!: This writer really hits the nail on the head when she talks about the whole cycle of panic i.e., you freak out that you're going to have a panic attack, which makes you have a panic attack, which makes you avoid dealing with it, which makes you feel like a loser, which makes you try to deal with it, which makes you freak out that you're going to have a panic attack, which, duh, makes you have another panic attack! But then there are actually some cool techniques to get OUT of the damn cycle. So I recommend this book!
This Book Helps my Clients!: I am a professional in the healing arts, and over the years I've treated many clients who suffer from one form of anxiety disorder or another. Last year, one of my regulars got her hands on this book, and wow! She really showed tremendous improvement. She asked me if I would recommend it to my other clients, so I read it, and thought enough of it to suggest it to a few other clients with anxiety-related issues. So far, the word back has been totally positive. I'm embarassed to say it's taken me almost a year to get around to writing this review, but if it helps even one person with what I can vouch for being a particularly difficult problem to overcome, I've done my job.
Good Self Help Book: I recently got this and it is certainly an above average anti anxiety self help book, I have read many and this offers some real ways to reduce anxiety as it titles states. Its most certainly worth picking up.
Very informative: Allows those who suffer anxiety or panic attacks to better understand their condition and do something about it in terms of self help. Can also be very useful for relatives of the patient.
