Embracing the Fear: Learning To Manage Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Nothing to fear but fear itself?  For anyone who has ever suffered from the palm sweating, heart pounding, trembling, panting, exhausting terror of anxiety or panic attacks, that is more than enough.  This book, authored by two recovering agoraphobics, offers strategies for managing anxieties and phobias, emphasizing the need to first accept our anxiety and panic, encouraging us to take risks, and giving specific dialogues to counter fearful self-talk.  Although they do not address nutritional approaches or relaxation techniques, the cognitive approach they emphasize is a uniquely valuable strategy for understanding and managing fear. --FromThe WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Patricia Pettijohn
