Self-help
Many people suffering from an anxiety disorder have been able to achieve significant relief by following a self-help program, commonly outlined in either a book or audio/video tape program. Most self-help programs may be used alone or as an adjunct to professional treatment. The following include self-help programs that I have developed as a result of my nearly 30 years of clinical practice:
Triumph Over Fear: A Book of Help and Hope for People with Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Phobias.
The self-help portion of this book includes detailed information about effective coping tools and techniques, goal setting, using daily task sheets, managing fearful thoughts and impulses, breathing control, relaxation and exercise, communicating with family, friends and colleagues, overcoming setbacks, and more.
This comprehensive self-help program, which includes audio and video tapes, a workbook and a variety of anxiety reducing tools, provides everything you need to get back in control of your life, let go of irrational thoughts and fears, and feel safe in the world again. You will learn how to overcome your anxiety problems in the privacy of your own home, at your own pace.
Additional self-help books and tape programs are listed in the Anxiety Disorders Association of America's on-line bookstore.
