From Panic to Power!

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