The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition Reviews
I am finding that this workbook is very helpful and giving me more confidence in myself. Also, I was amazed at the speed that it was delivered to me.This workbook contains many great exercises and pages on which to record your results.
This book is concise, clear, complete, respectful, humble, well written and well documented; it is a truly life-changer. The second one was because I got neglecting my medication; it has been the most terrifying experience of my life. If you had suffer such a thing, I don't need to say that you feel like there is no way out, even if a lot of people that love you and professionals are helping you, like in my case. If you have problems with Anxiety, please don't despair, buy this book and get it and yourself a chance.
Then a cousin that has very similar problems recommended me this book, and I found a tool to get a grip on my situation and assume my own responsibility to recover. Early this year, I developed an Anxiety disorder and I had two full-blown panic attacks. I wish I could thank personally to Dr. Bourne for it.
My therapist, a very professional woman, was amazed with my progress just one week after I began applying what I was reading.
They're totally different styles of book, but both were very helpful in there own way. A "friend" suggested that I read both together, and I think that was good advice, and the reason I'm making this comparison.
It reads almost like a textbook which is nice for easily identifying specific areas of interest across a broad spectrum. This one, the workbook educates you and then the other one, gives you a great way to think about and deal with what you learned.
nick I like that it worked out that way because I wouldn't have wanted to miss that effect.
So I would recommend either of them by themselves, but the two together ended up being a very good combo. I purchased and read these two together, ( Tao Cycle Therapy ) and was very happy with the combination.
The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook is a good broad reference book full of information that you can pick up any time and flip to a specific section. The other reads more like a short novel almost, it focuses very directly on one specific technique for taking care of this stuff, which was actually really cool.
I strongly recommend this valuable resource for learning skills to overcome the debilitating symptoms of anxiety. The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edmund J Bourne is a valuable therapeutic tool for people who are willing to follow its lessons to improve their mood. I bought it for somebody in my family who suffers from anxiety and occasional panic attacks but I have used it for fifteen years with very good results in my clinical work with patients.
Only reason I haven't given it the full 5 stars is because I haven't been putting it into practice yet, and so can't unequivocably vouch for the results yet. Excellent.Comprehensive. Every approach worth considering that I know of is covered and many more.and coherently put together, not just a jumble of unrelated techniques.
