The Panic Attack Recovery Book: Step-By-Step Techniques to Reduce Anxiety and Change Your Life--Natural, Drug-Free, Fast Results

As someone who has suffered from and anxiety and panic attacks badly over several months this book that I ordered came as a huge relief when they dropped through the letterbox because not only the information and suggestions in them about ways to get over your attackes but more importatly in the 'Fight or Flight'response, to read about others suffering exactly the same symptoms and thereby proving that sufferers were not 'losing their minds' as they were beginning to believe but that panic attacks are simply your mind giving the body false signals and thereby setting off a range of frightening physical reactions. Handy explains in great detail the physical reasons for why we feel the way we do during an attack and a good portion of the book is given over to relaxation, visualization and meditation techniques to use not only during times of attacks but also as a preventative measure. If you are suffering and finding answers hard to come by, get this book today, it is well written, informative and if nothing else it will give you the knowledge that you are not alone and that many millions throughout the world are going through this with you every day. This can be cured and this book is a very good start.

I was a sufferer of anxiety attacks. After reading shirley's book it taught me how to control myself physically and mentally when I have attacks. I also enlisted her over the counseling and have learned a great deal about panic and anxiety attacks and knowledge is have the battle. I can't put into words how thankful I am, I feel released from a long dark torment. Thanks Shirley.

I can't say enough great things about this book. I suffered from severe panic and anxiety through my sophomore year of college and just when I thought I would never get better I found this book and really began to feel a change within myself. This book is written in very clear, easy to understand, comforting language. Yet it is not condescending in any way. It offers practical, simple mind/body/soul solutions to overcoming panic attacks and anxiety.Even after I began to get better I carried it around with me everywhere I went, almost like a little "good luck charm." It was that valuable to me! I strongly recommend this book to anyone suffering from panic attacks or anxiety.

Full of information and presented in an easy to read and understand format. It has helped me overcome panic attacks on my own and I would highly recommend it. A small paperback book, but packed with useful real info (not a lot of fluff or overly personal verbage). Describes various factors that contribute to panic/anxiety like body chemistry imbalance (due to things like prolonged stress or low blood sugar levels) and faulty thought processes like perfectionism. Also gives solutions from various angles like diet, relaxation techniques, and ways of thinking. More than your doctor would probably tell you.

I can not say enogh great things about this book. It is a must have for anyone suffering from Panic and Anxiety. The authors breakdown the causes and cures for these crippling feelings. I would and have recommended this book to people dealing with Panic and Anxiety. It is an easy read, chuck full of helpful tips and personal stories.
