You are stronger than your anxiety! In this important workshop, authors Matthew McKay, Patrick Fanning, and Michelle Skeen offer a groundbreaking solution for anxiety based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand and overcome your fears and worries, rather than avoid them. If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you might try to avoid situations that cause you worry, fear, or panic. However, avoidance is not a long-term solution and may ultimately result in more distress. This book shows you that simply believing you can endure your worries and fears - both mentally and physically - can be an incredibly powerful therapy. Utilizing an innovative approach that combines effective CBT and exposure therapy, this workshop helps you understand how worry and rumination lead to anxiety, and provides practical exercises to help you adopt new habits of tracking your thoughts, rather than accepting them as the "ultimate truth." You will also develop mindfulness skills and self-soothing capacity to help you manage your anxiety as it occurs, rather than avoid it. Over time, these practices will show you that you are stronger than your anxiety. If you are stuck in a cycle of anxiety and avoidance, this workshop will help you make the changes you need to reclaim your life.
