The Anxiety Sisters are back with the second book in their series, which addresses everything you wanted to know about anxiety but were too anxious to ask.

The paradox of having physically mature bodies topped by not yet fully-developed brains is further complicated by all of the social and cultural pressures felt by this age group. As such, understanding and managing pre-adult anxiety can be particularly tricky. Written with their signature humor and wacky illustrations, Anxiety 101 is both thorough and accessible for [pre]college students and any adults in their lives.

Do you suffer from panic, anxiety, and fear in your day-to-day life? Do you often avoid social situations, activities like driving, or even going to the store because of a fear of being overwhelmed or triggering a panic attack? You might be interested to know that anxiety disorders are the most common mental health disorders in the United States. In Anxiety and Avoidance, psychologist and anxiety disorder expert Michael Tompkins presents a universal protocol to help you cope with anxiety, panic, and fear, regardless of your particular mental health diagnosis. This universal protocol is based on David H. Barlow's "unified protocol," and is a cognitive behavioral approach. Tompkins also draws on mindfulness-based therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that have been used successfully in the treatment of anxiety disorders for years. The book includes present-moment awareness (mindfulness) techniques, motivational tools for overcoming experiential avoidance, and cognitive tools for reframing anxiety and fear. In addition, you will learn how to use your personal values as a vehicle for lasting change. While most anxiety treatments have focused on symptom reduction, this book teaches you the skills needed to better handle the underlying emotional reactions that lead to anxiety and panic in the first place. If you are ready to stop avoiding situations that cause you to panic and get back to living a full life, this book is a powerful resource that can help you make a lasting change using an innovative, transdiagnostic approach.

Anxiety 101: The Holistic Approach to Managing Your Anxiety & Taking Back Your Life presents readers with an overview of the condition that affects approximately sixteen million Americans and provides a comprehensive list of the wide variety of integrative holistic treatment options available. Dr. Eudene Harry combines her experience in modern medicine and passion for holistic care in this handbook for anyone who suffers from anxiety.Harry notes that in a society that desires a pill for every ill, “it is important that we learn the root causes behind a patient's anxiety in order to form both a proper diagnosis and treatment regimen” (46). Anxiety 101 is intentionally structured to appeal both to patients who suffer from anxiety and medical professionals who treat the disorder. This easily readable book includes current statistical information from reputable medical studies as well as real-life “case studies” gleamed from the author's extensive experience as a traditional medical practitioner in a hospital setting and her current career as a holistic healthcare provider. Readers from a variety of backgrounds will appreciate her extensive overview of the biological history of the anxiety problem our society is now facing. For those who read Anxiety 101 in an attempt to learn more about their own disorder, Harry suggests that “arming yourself with the basic, physiological facts about how the anxiety response works is one critical step in the right direction” (102), and she provides such facts in simple terms using relatable examples.In the later chapters of Anxiety 101: The Holistic Approach to Managing Your Anxiety & Taking Back Your Life, Harry expands her belief that a “holistic approach to wellness is about creating a harmonious relationship with all aspects of your life” (78) by providing readers, both patients and practitioners alike, with a comprehensive list of treatment options, how they work, and their specific benefits. In addition to a refreshingly unbiased review of the pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat anxiety (serotonin boosters, GABA boosters, and beta blockers), a long list of alternative therapies are described: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), nuerofeedback, exercise, herbs, nutrients and vitamins, nutrition, meditation, visualization, essential oils, massage, probiotics, laughter, sleep, and weight loss.Anxiety 101 proves to be a valuable tool for anyone who seeks to understand the causes of anxiety disorders and learn how to employ holistic treatment options to improve health and happiness.
