Description: Anxiety and worry are a part of life. But for many of us they can reach a point where they spoil or even ruin our lives. If you are over-anxious, and perhaps even suffer from panic attacks, you need to do something about it. But what? Maybe you're not sure about going to the doctor. Even if it helps, you don't just want a quick-fix cure for the symptoms (though in the short term that would be a big help). You want to be the sort of person who doesn't fret and worry so much in the first place. Caroline Carr is a writer and therapist with both personal and professional experience of anxiety. She understands how anxiety can blight your life, and writes in a straightforward, easy and sympathetic style. She has a wealth of tips, ideas, strategies, techniques and case studies to share. She will help you: Understand the nature and causes of anxiety; Find a choice of treatments and approaches to try (we're all different, after all); Consider what alternative therapies are available; Discover strategies that will help you; Find ways to help loved ones who are worried or anxious. Most of all, she will help you rebuild your confidence so that in future you can stay in control of your anxiety, instead of letting it control you.
