How to Stop Anxiety & Panic Attacks: A Simple Guide to using a specific set of Techniques to Stop Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia, Social Phobia, Fear of Driving or Flying and Stress Paperback – August 16, 2010

Before I found out about this book, I had severe driving anxiety for several years, and I was fed up with the fear! Though I have respect for therapists and therapy, it just wasn't right for me (as well as expensive), and I'm also very reluctant to take medication. Searching for help on what else to do, I came across this book on here and I'm glad I did!Geert's techniques on how to handle your anxiety and panic attacks work wonders! Of course, it requires some effort to help make them work, it's not instant. It does take time to get used to applying them and thinking in a whole new way, but if you give it all you've got, you will notice a change. And for just under 10$ it's worth a shot!Yes, he does mention his CD program in the book, but I personally haven't needed to try it. This book, and his videos on ilovepanicattacks.com alone worked just fine for me. I can drive and go about my day without anxiety about it, and it feels GREAT!

This book and the videos on Geert's website are very down-to-earth, very practical tools and tips to help control, overcome and/or maybe cure anxiety and panic attacks. He keeps it simple and keeps it real. I recommend this book to anyone who just started feeling these feelings but also anyone who has had them for years (like me). I've started using some of the techniques and I know it won't be easy but I believe I can finally be free from panic attacks for good by using these tools daily. I'm thinking about purchasing the CD program as well but still on the fence right now. I'm not giving 5 stars because some of the techniques seemed a little odd to me (floating, for instance) but who knows, it just may work.

This is a great book! The funny thing is I missed the mailman when it came, so I had to go to the post office to get it...Oh boy that was not fun. I started reading it as soon as I got home, and I just kept thinking "why didn't I know this before I just had to go to the post office?"I can't afford the CD course, so I think this is a good substitute for it. (even though I don't know much about the course) I will need to give it another read just make sure it all sinks in, and do the little homeworks. So much of what he says makes perfect sense, especially the friend method, and the Tsunami. I am so glad I found Geert. Even though it was completely by accident, when I searching out some information for my daughter, who has just started getting anxiety too :( I will definitely pass this book to her, and hope she can get it dealt with before it ruins her life.

This book was very helpful because it was written by someone who suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. Much of the information I was already informed about from previous titles I have read. I was able to finish reading this book within 30 minutes. Only disappointing thing was I felt like I was being pressured into buying additional video and online information. Good read if you don't like long books.

If you suffer from panic attacks or anxiety this is the book for you. Well laid out, easy to read and well written. The techniques and help in this book will help all ages who suffer from these conditions particularly panic attacks. Panic attacks are not easily overcome, but this book will help you, it talks sense and helps you to understand what a panic attack actually is, what your body is doing and why. It is very enlightening and helps put you in charge and on the road to recovery. It is a journey, but the author makes it an understandable journey and a likeable journey with results at the end. The book is not too long either and you could read it in a day. Help and hopefully an end to panic attacks and other similar problems is within the pages of this book.

I've suffered from anxiety and panic disorder for more years than i can imagine. Medication has only helped so much and I was looking for something more. This book really spells out things simply and clearly and makes a heck of a lot of sense. The idea that "no matter what...i'm going to be ok" never really hit me before. Just reading this and starting to do a couple of the simple techniques in the book have really helped me. I still have a long way to go, but this has helped me start to get on the way to a life without the suffering! I'd recommend to anyone suffering to give this a try.

Finally a book and method I can recommend to my patients.My own daughter has had panic attacks for over 17 years. At first I prescribed her some meds, that's what every physician would do. Needless to say it didn't work.A while ago I ordered this book for her. She read it and subscribed to the extra videos you can get on the author's website (for free!). The combination of those techniques helped her improve week by week. I could see `my little girl' transforming herself into a new and improved version.She was previously unemployed because of this and now has just found a new job, with great possibilities.Furthermore, I've been recommending this book for a while when I have patients with Panic Attacks and the results are incredible.This book is not a miracle, it requires some work, but the results...well they are truly amazing.Good luck to all!Dr. Mike Cohen
