Managing Anxiety with CBT For Dummies

Easy to understand. A good primer for learning CBT.

The book was a very easy read. However, I'm not entirely sure it helped my problem. Most of what it said came down to "reduce stress in your life" which is easier said than done, and they didn't really give methods for helping to do that.

Good book! Easy and fast to read which is useful for someone trying to overcome anxiety problems. I bought it for a familiar with anxiety issues.

AM very pleased with this book-it has a brief and very clear format to present information-and is easily understood-the shipping process was efficient and the book arrived in excellent condition in a timely manner-thanks

Finding a cognitive behavior workbook I found to be much more helpful

Too dumbed-down.

good insight

I look forward to using thiw

Very easy to read. Chose an actual book for this rather than electronic version as it is so much easier to go back and reread certain passages. Having reached a point where anxiety was affecting health, on doctors advice, I have had a couple of sessions with a mindfulness hypnotherapist for deep relaxation. I think I needed face to face support initially but this book reinforces what I have learned and allows me to build on it. Going forward this is a great companion and as my therapist says you use the techniques to get over an anxiety attack, but with practice you can prevent them from happening in the first place. It takes work but so worth it.

being a bit of a skeptic when buying this book i thought it was going to be a load of bull.... but i have to say it is helping me understand my anxiety a lot more and helping me figure out the best way to get better.... cbt is a must

A life changer. I love this book so much I've purchased it for a friend. I want to buy it for everyone who is struggling with anxiety, wants to understand anxiety and where it comes from or is ready to change and free themselves from it. This book will will empower you, hold you by the hand and guide you through your transformation.

I purchased this book because I wanted an introduction to the method used in CBT and to ascertain how the model is applied to anxiety related issues. The book has offered just that! I have found it helpful and informative. The CBT application is easy to understand and then to begin to apply to getting anxiety related issues under control. As with the CBT model of work though it does require a person to have a clear understanding of CBT and want to begin a journey towards change....and, as the book shows, it is not a "quick fix" journey which will end when you have read the book...it is that point your work will begin. The charts and diagrams shown in the book will help you to put together your own diary/journal of your progress and the information provided gives you great reminders about the goals you have set yourself. I am very pleased with is purchase and would recommend it to anyone setting out to use CBT techniques to help with problematic issues in their lives. Good purchase.

The techniques in this book are not groundbreaking and are mostly common sense. Good for someone who maybe has lost their way and can’t make a start of getting out of a tight spot. But was hoping to find out about this technique that everyone has been talking about for so long and these strategies just seem very basic and barely helpful. Unfortunately, wasted money.
