Kirstin's
Story: No Place to Stand
by Jean Jardine Miller If your
looking for a book about being a parent to a teenage
Panic/Anxiety sufferer, than would be good. Ms. Miller
has a very strong voice. She discusses having to be an
advocate for her daughter and the frustrations that went
with that. At times her words are so concise that it
feels like she had little empathy for her daughter. But
this isn't her daughters story, but a parents story. I
wish the book had gone past the ultimate ending of her
daughters suicide. It is very well
written.
Panic and Anxiety Disorder : 121 Tips, Real-life
Advice, Resources & More
(New Updated) by Linda Manassee
Buell "I'd heard about Linda's upcoming tips book on Panic and
Anxiety Disorder, but wasn't really interested in reading it,
mainly because it was a "tips" book; I've seen those booklets
in the check-out line, and always considered them vague and
rather gimmicky. So, when I first picked up "Panic and Anxiety
Disorder, 121 Tips, Real-life Advice, Resources & More",
not only was I surprised by its book-like appearance, I was
also drawn to its calm, down-to-earth approach to self-help.
Yes, there are numbered tips, but as I read, I realized this
wasn't implicitly for someone coping with anxiety disorders;
Linda has written to everybody. Her tips, while pinpointing
individual aspects of anxiety, actually address the very
simple, basic, moment-by-moment steps to follow in order to
successfully survive just about any stressful inner conflict.
From digging in the earth to truly relearning the art of
breathing, Linda's guidance is straightforward and
simultaneously profound. Not leaving any stone unturned, Linda
has dedicated an entire chapter to folks who've found
themselves in the challenging role of support, and included
numerous sources of additional literature and information."
Help! I Think I'm Dying! Panic Attacks &
Phobias: A Consumer's Guide (New Supplement for
1999)
by Abbot Lee, MD
Granoff "If you or someone you know suffers from anxiety/panic
attacks, this book is essential for you. It is obvious that
Dr. Granoff's personal experience with panic attacks have
given him the dedication and motivation to help all of those
who suffer. The book outlines in detail the causes and
treatments for anxiety and panic as well as clarifies all of
the misinformation that the general public has regarding
medications that may be useful in treatment. Since reading the
book, I have consulted with Dr. Granoff personally. With his
help, I am recovering rather quickly after suffering with this
condition for over 9 years! Without his help, I may have had
to struggle for the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor and
read this book."
An End to Panic : Breakthrough Techniques for
Overcoming Panic Disorder
by Elke
Zuercher-White "I've read many, many books on treating panic
disorder, but this is the ONLY book that helped me overcome my
panic disorder. I only wish I had read it years ago. Panic
pretty much ... my life down a black hole -- I was so
agoraphobic that for two years I rarely left my bedroom, even
to go down the hall to the kitchen. A cognitive-behavioral
therapist gave me a copy of this book and took me step by step
thru it. It took 8 months of hard, scary work but today I can
go anywhere, with or without anyone, and do anything, for as
long as I want, whenever I want --not a medication in sight
and not a twinge of inappropriate panic. Two years ago I
couldn't even contemplate walking to the end of my driveway. I
just can't recommend this book highly enough. It was the light
at the end of my tunnel."
