From Panic to Power

Many anxiety and panic attack sufferers mistakenly believe that by steering clear of situations or behaviors that bring on attacks, they are successfully dealing with the problem. Unfortunately, this avoidance behavior can perpetuate the cycle and actually make it worse. Lucinda Bassett, best known for her TV infomercials on fighting anxiety, breaks through the profound social stigma associated with anxiety with a refreshing but gut-wrenching account of her own agoraphobia. She then supplies her own personal program designed to overcome anxiety. In workbook form, she explains various exercises (similar to cognitive behavior therapies) that she says have been proven to help overcome debilitating fear without the aid of medication.
