Cognitive-behavioral therapy to overcome anxiety, fear, anxiety and panic

If during a forest walk you will find a bear, your brain and your body will answer this basic reaction "beat or run". But what if the boss frowned at your report, and then at you? Or the partner is not in contact for the second day? Evolution did not prepare you for this. And now you are already plunging into the thoughts of the loss of work and about lonely old age. Or resort to one of the avoidance strategies - removal, procrastination, alcohol intelligence or any other. Maybe there is another way? Anxiety takes different forms - from obsessive thoughts about the iron, which you allegedly forgot to turn off, and fear of microbes to fear to use the elevator or speak in front of the audience. But it is always based on a long fear, which remains in the absence of a real threat. From this book you will learn how to properly track anxiety signals, evaluate threats and control emotional and physiological reactions using the techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy. And the collision method described by the authors will help you overcome the anxiety as quickly and fully as possible.
