 Saved my life 4 years ago May 04, 2000
When I was feeling paralyzed by (what I didn't recognize yet as) anxiety while writing my graduate school thesis, a counselor recommended I read this book. I began feeling better from Day 1, when I was able to immediately give my problem (constant fear and worry accompnaied by physical symptoms of shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, jumpiness, chest pains etc.) a name, and understand its origins. The simple methods of changing some of your negative self-talk to accepting and positive messages provide the amazing benefits of "cognitive therapy", which has noticeable effects from the first day you begin to not be so hard on yourself, and continuing results years into the future as you begin to change your approach to life in general to reduce mental and emotional stress.What do you have to lose in buying this cheap $5 paperback? If you are suffering from crippling anxiety, you have everything to gain.

Managing Your Anxiety Mar 08, 2001
This book's thorough and philosophical explanation of the many factors involved in panic and phobia disorders gave me a much deeper understanding of the roots of my own anxiety. The excersizes in self-care program were an essential tool in helping me overcome a phobia I had for many years. It is an excellent resource for anyone who is struggling with any form of anxiety, panic, or phobia disorder.

 A book for everyone suffering from anxiety Aug 22, 2000
I have been troubled by anxiety for many years and have not been too optimistic about finding a book that would deal with my particular problem. Managing Your Anxiety by Christopher J. McCullough and Robert Woods Mann comes very close to dealing with it. Although initially intended for people with Agoraphobia (fear of open places), the book gives a detailed account of how to manage anxiety using journals, lists, and other methods of making you realize what goes into your anxiety. I like in particular its specificity and the non-technical way in which it explains the roots of anxiety and its effects and, especially, the ways in which it can be coped with. I have used it with continuing improvement in my condition and I can recommend it to anyone who suffers from anxiety.

excellent book Oct 11, 2010

"dressagelover"
If you are tired of the "same old talk" this book is for you. This is a detailed account of the common thought processes, personalities and histories that underly many (not all!) people suffering from anxiety, worry, fear, etc.
It puts it in a new perspective and views anxiety as a "sign" from your body. It takes some thought to get the most out of the book. I appreciate the use of drugs as a short term solution but you still need to "do the work" for healing.
