Overcoming Panic (Overcoming Series)

Overcoming Panic (Overcoming Series)

by SiloveMan (Author)

Synopsis

It is common to become anxious in situations such as job interviews, exams, or a public speaking engagement. For some, however, anxiety symptoms become so severe and persistent that they become disabling. In some cases people develop episodes of sudden and intense anxiety, known as panic attacks, with physical symptoms so severe that they may be mistaken for heart disease or a stroke. Some sufferers begin to avoid situations they believe will cause them stress, to the point that they become fearful of restaurants or supermarkets, or even of leaving their homes.

Overcoming Panic has been developed as a self-help guide for overcoming and preventing panic attacks and associated agoraphobia. Based on the clinically proven techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, this step-by-step management program will be indispensable for those affected, as well as their families and friends, psychologists, and those in the medical profession.

Media Reviews

This book will prove useful to teachers, students, researchers, and activists as we struggle to understand how class is working in the twenty-first century United States.
-Peter Rachleff, professor of history, Macalester College, and President, Working Class Studies Association


Binds diverse, informed, often compellingly personal explorationsof social and economic inequity together into a revealing journey through the scarred terrain of today's working-class reality. This book should be off the shelf and in the hands, and backpacks, of a new generation of working-class activists who can lead the struggle to collectively claim a new direction.
