As the title suggests this book focuses on how to effectively manage anxiety and related disorders such as: OCD, PTSD, panic disorders, phobias, social anxiety and GAD. For me, the significant joys of this book are:
- the information and instructions are comprehensible and straightforward,
- examples are given of how the skills were applied successfully,
- case studies are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the skills,
- and exercise worksheets are provided for each skill area.
I like that this book not only give examples of effective skills but also highlight unhelpful strategies that individuals might employ.
I believe this is useful because it can help people to understand and be more aware of unhelpful strategies and techniques they use that might reinforce their difficulties. This book does what it says on the cover and does it wonderfully, which is likely to make it more appealing for people who do not have a lot of knowledge and experience around managing anxiety, stress, and resulting difficulties.
