In the midst of our pain, we sometimes forget how confusing our situation can be to the people closest to us. Ken Strong did not forget. Experienced both with having an anxiety disorder and helping someone with an anxiety disorder, Ken Strong wrote the first book for the support people of people with anxiety disorders. Strong's compassion and understanding alone are reasons enough to buy this book. I can only imagine the relief a support person must feel when she reads through the book for the first time.
Isolation intensifies any struggle.
Those of us with anxiety disorders understand the importance of support groups. Strong's book can be the first step in a support person's realization that she is not alone and, through interaction with other support people, she will help herself and the person she is supporting. Support Person's Information and Support is Ken Strong's website, the only site for the support people of people with anxiety disorders. The site provides helpful articles and tips, success stories and a bookstore. Ken maintains an e-mail list for support people, and you'll also find information on a chat group for support people.
