Overcoming Anxiety is written in quite simple terms and lays it right on the line.  Introducing such concepts as the 5 4 3 2 1 strategy, anyone can use these in their daily lives in order to help them with their anxiety or panic attacks.  I even tried it myself and found it quite relaxing and grounding.  The basic idea behind it is to focus on three senses such as hearing, seeing, and feeling and then use those senses to find five things to see, five things to hear, and five things to touch.  Then you work your work down, using the same categories until you get to one. I found it actually worked quite well and I could even do it while working at my computer desk for long hours when I was feeling overwhelmed and I wasn’t accomplishing as much as I hoped.  I even did it while painting, which took longer than I anticipated.”

This is a self help book about ways overcome anxiety. I has many very helpful tips. The tips are very well explained for you to implement in your life. He talks about all the different ways and how you could personalize them to fit your life. The only issue I really had was that some of the explanations were over done and not needed. There were some parts that I kept getting distracted because it was to long and not to the point. Besides that I found the ideas, if practiced were helpful.

“Written in language that is easy for the lay person to follow and understand,  this book is a valuable addition to any home library. The techniques described are best practived for personal use but are also great for the parental toolbox.  I look forward to reading other titles in this series.”
