In reality, it is impossible to simply "overcome" anxiety. Everything people do to feel better, such as avoiding situations that scare them or pushing worries out of their minds, makes things worse.

Top psychologists Susan M. Orsillo and Lizabeth Roemer present the groundbreaking, dynamic, alternative solution of "mindfulness" that can free you from anxiety through a radical change in your relationship with it.

With clarity and compassion, this book thoroughly describes well-researched practices of this new approach, addressing the different forms of anxiety. Learn step-by-step the strategies that will help you become aware of your anxious feelings while preventing their escalation, relaxing the grip of worry and fear, and achieving a new level of emotional and physical well-being.
