What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders is an
integrated and practical approach to treating anxiety disorders for
general psychotherapists. What is new and exciting is its focus on
changing a patient's relationship to anxiety in order to enable
enduring recovery rather than merely offering a menu of techniques
for controlling symptoms. Neither a CBT manual nor an academic text
nor a self-help book, What Every Therapist Needs to Know About
Anxiety Disorders offers page after page of key insights into ways
to help patients suffering from phobias, panic attacks, unwanted
intrusive thoughts, compulsions and worries. The authors offer a
rich array of therapist-patient vignettes, case examples, stories,
and metaphors that will complement the work of trainees and
experienced clinicians of every orientation. Readers will come away
from the book with a new framework for understanding some of the
most frustrating clinical challenges in anxiety disorders,
including "reassurance junkies," endless obsessional loops, and the
paradoxical effects of effort.

You are not your thoughts! In this powerful book, two anxiety
experts offer proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
skills to help you get unstuck from disturbing thoughts, overcome
the shame these thoughts can bring, and reduce your anxiety. If you
suffer from unwanted, intrusive, frightening, or even disturbing
thoughts, you might worry about what these thoughts mean about you.
Thoughts can seem like messages-are they trying to tell you
something? But the truth is that they are just thoughts, and they
don't necessarily mean anything. Sane and good people have them. If
you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you don't want-thoughts
that scare you, or thoughts you can't tell anyone-this book may
change your life. In this compassionate guide, you'll discover the
different kinds of disturbing thoughts, myths that surround your
thoughts, and how your brain has a tendency to get "stuck" in a
cycle of unwanted rumination. You'll also learn why common
techniques to get rid of these thoughts can backfire. And finally,
you'll learn powerful cognitive behavioral skills to help you cope
with and move beyond your thoughts, so you can focus on living the
life you want. Your thoughts will still occur, but you will be
better able to cope with them-without dread, guilt, or shame. If
you have unwanted thoughts, you should remember that you aren't
alone. In fact, there are millions of people just like you-good
people who have awful thoughts, gentle people with violent
thoughts, and sane people with "crazy" thoughts. This book will
show you how to move past your thoughts so you can reclaim your
life!

Powerful skills based in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to
help you break free from the fear of uncertainty and put a stop to
compulsive checking and reassurance seeking. "How do I know I made
the right decision?" "What if I'm wrong?" "I need to know for
sure." Do you have thoughts like these-thoughts that cause you to
second-guess yourself, and lead to anxiety, stress, and worry? Do
you find yourself repeatedly checking your email for no reason,
asking others for their opinions about something again and again,
or lying awake at night overgrazing and planning ahead in an
attempt to feel less anxious? If so, you probably have a problem
with compulsive reassurance seeking. The good news is that you can
break free from this "reassurance trap"-this book will show you
how. In this unique guide, you'll find proven-effective tips and
tools using CBT to help you tolerate uncertainty, face specific
worrying scenarios, and gradually reduce the compulsion to
incessantly seek reassurance. Most importantly, you'll learn to
deal with those pesky "doubt attacks" and trust your own judgement.
Asking for reassurance is a self-reinforcing behaviour-if you do
it, you're less likely to handle stressful situations without
needing further reassurance. And so the cycle continues. The CBT
skills in this book will help you break this exhausting and painful
pattern, so you can build self-confidence and improve your life.
