For many people, life is made intolerable by phobias. Common fears
may range from crowded places or fear of heights to a fear of
vomiting or of spiders, while more unusual terrors include bees,
icebergs and even the weather. Whatever your fear, the underlying
mechanism is the same - acute anxiety which is often linked with
panic. The good news is that there is a great deal you can do to
get your life back under control, and self-help may be even more
valuable than professional help. This book looks at how to tackle
specific phobias, anxiety and panic, and presents a tried and
tested programme for change. Topics include; different kinds of
phobias, including simple phobia, social anxiety and agoraphobia,
post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
and body dysmorphic disorder, how to define your problem, setting
targets and goals, effective ways to plan your exposure to anxiety,
coping with panis attacks, hyperventilation and catastrophic
thoughts, exercise, diet, time management, alcohol and sleep,
involving family, friends and other phobics, professional help and
its limitations. Renowned expert Professor Robert Gournay, who has
more than 35 years' experience in the field, says that while
everyone with a phobia is different, you are not alone, and even
apparently insurmountable levels of fear and anxiety can be
overcome.
