Are you plagued by fears, phobias, or panic attacks? Do you toss
and turn at night with a knot in your stomach, worrying about your
job, your family, work, your health, or relationships? Do you
suffer from crippling shyness, obsessive doubts, or feelings of
insecurity?
What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based
on reality. Anxiety is one of the world's oldest cons. When you're
anxious, you're actually fooling yourself. You are telling yourself
things that simply aren't true. See if you can recognize yourself
in any of these distortions:
All-or-Nothing Thinking: "My mind will go blank when I give my
presentation at work, and everyone will think I'm an idiot."
Fortune Telling: "I just know I'll freeze up and blow it when I
take my test."
Mind Reading: "Everyone at this party can see how nervous I
am."
Magnification: "Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going
to crash!"
Should Statements: "I shouldn't be so anxious and insecure. Other
people don't feel this way."
Emotional Reasoning: "I feel like I'm on the verge of cracking
up!"
Self-Blame: "What's wrong with me? I'm such a loser!"
Mental Filter: "Why can't I get anything done? My life seems like
one long procrastination."
Now imagine what it be like to live a life that's free of worries
and self-doubt; to go to sleep at night feeling peaceful and
relaxed; to overcome your shyness and have fun with other people;
to give dynamic presentations without worrying yourself sick ahead
of time; to enjoy greater creativity, productivity and
self-confidence.
Does that sound impossible? The truth is you "can" defeat your
fears. In "When Panic Attacks," Dr. Burns takes you by the hand and
shows you how to overcome every conceivable kind of anxiety. In
fact, you will learn how to use more than forty simple, effective
techniques, and the moment you put the lie to the distorted
thoughts that plague you, your fears will immediately disappear.
Dr. Burns also shares the latest research on the drugs commonly
prescribed for anxiety and depression and explains why they may
sometimes do more harm than good.
This is not pop psychology but proven, fast-acting techniques that
have been shown to be more effective than medications. "When Panic
Attacks" is an indispensable handbook for anyone who's worried sick
and sick of worrying.
