Beyond Anxiety and Phobia: A Step-by-Step Guide to Lifetime Recovery

By Edmund J. Bourne

Book Overview

Panic attacks, phobias, and other problems with anxiety have been effectively treated with cognitive behavioral therapy and medication for many years. Now even more help for these conditions is available. In Beyond Anxiety & Phobia, Dr. Edmund J. Bourne (author of the best-selling Anxiety & Phobia Workbook) offers a full spectrum of complimentary approaches that get to the heart of anxiety and phobia and go beyond standard treatments and medication. In this book you will find guidelines and strategies that can help you to: -Reduce anxiety by simplifying your lifestyle and environment. -Uncover core personality traits and fears that perpetuate anxiety. -Discover purpose in your life that helps overcome a sense of meaninglessness. -Embrace spirituality to change both your perspective on your problem and your ability to heal it. -Create a vision of your recovery that will attract a positive outcome. -Use alternative methods such as herbs, diet, yoga, massage, and acupuncture for greater relaxation and ease in your life. -Practice mediation so you can learn to witness rather than simply react to anxiety and fear. Dr. Bourne has helped many of his clients achieve a more complete and lasting recovery in overcoming difficulties with anxiety by combining these methods with conventional treatment.

Helps learn about yourself and others

I never look to books to give me the ultimate answer. If I learn something from it and can apply it in some way to my life, and if it's writen well enough to keep me interested, it's worth it. This book was very good that way, at least for someone who likes philosopical/psychological stuff. I've been diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder, and had a bout of depression last year. A very good therapist recommended this...

Beyond Anxiety and Phobia: A Step-by-Step Guide to Lifetime Recovery

This book was very helpful. My psychologist recommended it to help with my counsleing treatment. The author breaks things down for you and makes you realize many things that you can do to live a better, healthier life. It has truly changed my life for the better! I would recommend this to anyone who has anxiety, phobias, even stress.

Desperate to find real help

My wife has been suffering for months with debilitating anxiety. In addition to medication and therapy, we have read about 6 (layman) books on the subject. I found this book to be the only secular book on the subject that offered practical, clear information that really helped. Save your money and order this book first. It is very comprehensive, well organized, and easy to understand.

Beyond the Typical Advise (that you've already heard)

The author helps you discover personality traits and other issues that could be undermining your basic sense of security. I have always considered myself to be a very strong person and I was at...

This is a wonderful book!

This book picks up where the author's Anxiety and Phobia Workbook left off. The affirmations in the back alone are worth the price of the book, which presents a wide variety of ideas for living a more peaceful and satisfying life. The author is obviously a highly sensitive and caring therapist with a deep understanding of these problems. Highly recommended.
