Overcoming Anxiety and Panic interactive guide (Overcoming Guide)

I love helping people overcome anxiety or panic because this makes such a positive difference in their lives. I am Elizabeth McMahon, a clinical psychologist who specializes in anxiety issues.

For many years I have used the anxiety model explained in this book to help people understand their anxiety and make changes in their thinking and actions. This approach has been very effective in helping people overcome straightforward anxiety issues and the anxiety portion of more complex psychological challenges.

People I have worked with say:

• “I can’t believe it! I never thought I would feel this good. I have my life back!” –Alyssa
• “I was really skeptical at first since I’d had panic attacks for years. Now I’m free and living my life again.” – Jamie
• “I thought it would take years to get through this program. I am amazed at how quickly my panic attacks decreased.” – Andrew
• “My marriage is so much better. We don’t argue nearly as much because I’m able to run errands and help out again.” – Dorothy

If you get stuck, the book explains how you can get help from friends and family or find a therapist. Sharing your forms and records can help jumpstart your work with a therapist.

If you think, “That’s great, but it won’t work for me”, ask yourself, “What have I got to lose by trying?” Then ask yourself, “What could I gain if I succeed?” Isn’t that worth a try?

Think of this book as your map, taking you step by step along the path to a happier, freer life.
