Anxiety - Deal with it! Yvonne Bates

Anxiety exhausts us, because we're always trying to solve our worries and we're not tackling the real reason why we're anxious. We need to tape up the burst pipe rather than mopping up the floor, otherwise we'll just keep mopping and mopping. We need to know why we're anxious, so we can fix it. This self-help book helps you to understand what is causing your anxiety and know what to do about it. You'll learn the reasons why you are more prone to anxiety than the next person and how you can reduce that proneness. And you will learn to avoid a lot of anxiety altogether by recognizing the warning signs and dealing with them before the anxiety gets a hold of your body and mind. Most books advocate a single approach to anxiety, but this one looks at all the main options in a simple, clear and honest way and shows you why and when some things work better than others. There are over 70 self-help exercises and techniques in the book to help you build an arsenal of anxiety-busting weapons to use in different situations. Yvonne Bates has over a quarter of a century's experience as a person-centered therapist and has helped many clients who suffer with anxiety. She has also struggled with anxiety herself for most of her life and so has a unique understanding of this frustrating and sometimes crippling condition.
