"The book offers a step-by-step way to understand anxiety, prepare for change, face fears and build on strength and values."
Description
Fear is a normal emotion. For one out of ten
people, however, fear is extreme and disruptive
because approximately 10% of people have
an anxiety disorder at any one time, only a
tiny proportion of whom receive appropriate
psychological treatment. This book provides you
with information about fears and phobias and how
to cope with them, so you can reclaim your life.
Incorporating extensive research on anxiety
and phobias, Dr Mansell writes accessibly and
supportively. He provides real-life examples and
many easy-to-learn techniques from cognitive
behavioural therapy (CBT), all of which will help
sufferers develop a lasting change. Coping with
Fears and Phobias is supported by a dedicated
website for sufferers and carers.
