Linden Method Review
Panic Away Review
I’m looking for authority references (books, websites or courses) on the subject of child anxiety disorders and their treatment. Ideally, it would be the kind of information that a parent or educator can relate to and use practically. What do you recommend, specially if you’re knowledgable in the field?
These are two references that I myself have used (and continue to use) for treating child anxiety symptoms & inculcating toddler discipline:
“Overcome Child Anxiety” by Rich Presta and Dr. Cheryl Lane
http://anxietyfreechildren.ellsed.com
“Talking to Toddlers” by Chris Thompson
http://toddlers.annics.com
I have a 9 year old niece with social anxiety disorder. I am also involved in early child development focused on solving toddler behavioral problems.
Hope this helps.
I have lived my whole life as a healthy guy….until May 18th….when an Anxiety disorder reared its ugly head, shortyly after my wife and i’s miscarrage. Well of corse, being a realist, i caould not see how some mental anguish could affect me…but boy was i in for a suprise. General Anxiety Disorder! Thats what its called, a common mental ailment, known for causing similar symptoms of more ‘serious’ conditions such as, tumors, heat attacks, and strokes….Honestly now, how can you NOT get freaked out when your throwing football with the guys and BAM you get suddenly dizzy and feel like your about to feint. Its no joke, and its not funny.
The worst thing in this world is dying from cancer. The thing in this world thats almost as bad, thinking everyday you are dying from the unkown.
________Hi, im writing a book on Anxiety, and my intro will go something along them lines. what do you all think?
Sounds like a good premise, but I’d proofread the grammer, spelling and punctuation before submitting it.
I feel nervous, heart rate goes up, light headaches, feeling more tired, trembling and I worry about nothing!
I somtimes feel like theres no future and the world will end and I feel like there is no point to life. I dont drink, smoke or take drugs and no intention of suicide.
However I do feel miserable. Please help. I have already spoken with a doctor and he suggested buying anxiety books. But I still feel terrible.
Anxiety and panic attacks have become very common in today’s world. It seems that more people than ever are dealing with panic attacks these days. Panic attacks, along with generalized anxiety have become commonplace. Of course, the fact panic attacks are common doesn’t make them feel any less terrible.
Maybe you are visiting this page because you have been having frequent panic attacks lately and would like to defeat panic forever. Perhaps you are having panic right now. Here is a tip for you. For panic attacks to be really frightening, we have to be running from them or worried about what they can possibly do to us.
As we realize our apprehension is what is making them so horrible, they start to diminish in strength. Panic builds in strength like a rolling snowball as we try to run from it, but when we stop trying to avoid panic, in melts.
Hello, I’m looking for a book for anxiety for young adults, not for teens.. and the book talks you through it, not a novel, and not all experience based and something with humor in it still? If anyone knows about any good ones please let me know, thankyou
Also self esteem books, too. especially humorous feel good books for young adults

I have long suffered from anxiety attacks. I was recently diagnosed bipolar and have persistent panic attacks. My illness as everyone calls it has gotten so bad I find myself panicking in grocery stores. I moved away from the busy NYC and my drama with my ex husband to live with my dad. Now, he has congestive heart failure and that brought on more stress for me. With all of the stress, the anxiety/panic attacks have gotten worse. I lost my job because I could not come to work. I get a weird feeling all over and I feel faint. I get shaky and sweaty and feel like my heart is racing out of control. My head feels heavy, my chest feels heavy. I fear I am going to die. I have read bipolar books and have come to terms with my attitude adjustments. I have read an anxiety book that has reassured me I can not die during an anxiety attack. The book goes as far as telling me when I feel weird its perfectly healthy. And when my head feels like its going to spin off.. I should talk myself outta it by saying my brain went on a little vacation.
I have tried just about everything I can. Getting to the doctors office is a task that takes between months or not at all to get to. The fear just takes over. The fear of taking meds AGAIN just takes me into a panic attack. I have eliminated all caffeine and sugar (not healthy) from my diet. I drink water and sugar free powder drinks. I eat vegetables and fruits. I am determined to get thru this myself. My question is… is there anything else I can do that doesnt require doctors? My therapist has told me she feels sorry for me. That I should be locked up somewhere because I cannot control what I do. She diagnosed me bipolar within the first visit. A second opinion is much much needed. But for now.. I am centering myself with yoga…what else could I possibly do??
It sounds like you’re really under a lot of stress – there have been a lot of things going on in your life that are very stressful and it really sounds like you’re trying hard to take control. Kudos for that.
Your therapist should be able to help, and it sounds as though yours is definitely not doing that. I completely agree, you need a second opinion from a professional. You didn’t talk much about bipolar symptoms but certainly the anxiety attacks are something that there are techniques you can use to improve. My wife works as a psychologist with a lot of trauma victims and they use anxiety-reducing techniques like body awareness, breathing, cognitive recognition of how the attack begins, etc. Definitely there are professionals who can help with this. If the relationship with your current therapist isn’t working out, it’s fine to change therapists. You can begin at a community health clinic, and it should also be covered by health insurance.
At a doctor’s office you can only see someone who’s medically trained (a GP or psychiatrist), not someone who’s psychologically trained. If you’d like to stay away from meds, you need psychological, not psychiatric help.
When looking for a therapist, look at their credentials. There are Master’s-level therapists who are qualified, but they are not psychologists. A psychologist has to have an APA-approved Doctoral degree and have passed the appropriate State boards. Be sure that whoever you’re seeing has some kind of formal qualifications. People can call themselves ‘counselor’ with no qualification at all.
Good luck. Feel free to email if you need more ideas.
I have a little bout of social anxiety. I always get a little nervous when walking into a classroom(not all of them, guess it just depends on the vibe). Or when I raise my hand to answer a question (again not all the time just in cerain clasess/circumstances where I am not comfortable). Or you know when a teacher goeas around the room and makes everyone introduce themselves (I usually like to got first b/c if I wait too long, my anxiety kicks in (heart racing/body heat rising/shallow breathing etc). It’s like I want to make a good impression, but the truth is, I really don’t care that much. But once those “fight or flight” responses kick in, no amount of thinking or controlled breathing can really shut it down(I have gotten better at it a little though). I know leaving the scene would help, but obviusly i’m not going to do that lol(it’s just class etc.). Besides, i’m not in any danger. My brain is just sounding an emergency alarm for no good reason!
Then theres Approach Anxiety…….ugh. Guys, you know what i’m talking about. I fight through it, but I don’t think that will ever truly go away.
I bought this anxiety book but haven’t had time to read it lately since I am in the middle of my college semester. The book is all about midfullness and meditation.
Like I said, it really just depends on the atmosphere of the room and my percieved “spotlight effect”. If the vibe is casual and friendly where everyone is talking (like an auditorium) i’m fine.
Any self help tips for dealing with this? Does anyone elses have this problem?
Learn how to control your breathing. Deep breathing brings on many sensations (such as “lightheadedness” and tightness of the chest) that occur during a panic attack. Deep breathing, on the other hand, can relieve the symptoms of panic. By learning to control your breathing, you develop a coping skill that you can use to calm yourself down when you begin to feel anxious. If you know how to control your breathing, you are also less likely to create the very sensations that you are afraid of.
If you want to know more about that, see my resource below and read it.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My mom has a very difficult time understanding anxiety, PTSD and the associated problems it causes in my every day life. It is causing a serious strain on our relationship and I was looking to get her a book to read about it to help her better understand anxiety and hopefully help our relationship.
Medication, once considered the treatment of choice, is losing favor as more and more sufferers complain of unpleasant side effects and its temporary, quick-fix nature. Now, thanks to a flood of fresh neurobiology research and insights into the anatomy of the anxious brain, effective, practical strategies have emerged allowing us to manage day-to-day anxiety on our own.
I have had severe anxiety for over two years now and I am interested in maybe books about anxiety and maybe how the brain works with it and the mind. I’m not really interested in hearing any stories, more of how the brain and mind work with anxiety. Thanks for your help.
There are a number of things you can do to eliminate anxiety naturally without using medications. Bottom line is anxiety is caused by your negative THOUGHTS (either subconscious or conscious thoughts). By mastering your thinking you can eliminate or reduce anxiety.
Below are some proven methods you can use to reduce or eliminate anxiety:
a) Meditation is proven to help reduce anxiety and is also not difficult to learn. 10 minutes a day is all that is required to help calm your mind
b) Self Hypnosis: You should buy a good book on this and learn self hypnosis
c) Repeating Positive Affirmations: The best time to do this is at night before bed or in the morning when you wake up. About 7 to 8 minutes is all you need.
d) Try to learn the root cause of your anxiety. For example I use to be scared of the dark, and learned I was accidentally locked in a dark basement as a child. As soon as I learned this my fear of the dark immediately went away.
I am very anxious I have been on medicine since 6th grade. Medicines dont seem to be working any longer. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent. My anxiety gets worse and worse. Has anyone read any good books that have helped them? Or maybe know of a good program even?
Try therapy, specifically look into “cognitive behaviorial therapy”. I have panic disorder and like you have been medicated for a very long time, I’m getting further and further into CBT and it’s really helping me a lot. Good luck!
I’m not going to get too far into it, but for those of you who don’t know, Emetophobia is the fear of vomit. So I’m afraid of vomiting, being around vomit, seeing others vomit, smelling vomit, or even hearing someone in the other room vomit. I have always been this way due to some traumatic experiences I have had with vomiting as a child, but lately it has been so bad that I have a hard time just living a normal life of a 19-year-old girl. I play college sports, volleyball, and I love it. I try my hardest to just wake up and go about my day without letting the phobia take control of my day but just this past year it has gotten really hard for me. During the month of April my brother came down with a bad bout of vomiting that left him miserable for at least 2 days and it was due to food poisoning. Ever since then, I have lost about 7 pounds due to the anxiety and stress everyday about whether or not I am going to be sick. I constantly worry, and think ‘what if’. So even more so, I think I have become worse because now I worry about food poisoning a lot more than I used too. After every meal if I did not prepare it, I will worry for at least the next 8 hours and constantly think that what I just ate could give me food poisoning. It’s a horrible feeling, and just going out to eat with friends or family is becoming a challenge because I can never enjoy the meal. I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there who feels the same or if anyone has any good advice about the topic. How can I just learn to go about my day and stop thinking about all of the ‘what if’ scenarios. Are there any good books that you would recommend I could buy. I am also a Christian and I firmly believe that worrying about stuff, especially letting it consume my life, like I do, is a sin. I would like to find some Christian-based anxiety books possibly, or just talk to someone who is sort of on the same page as me. If you have any advice I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
Sounds just like me i constantly worry about stuff i know i shouldn’t and it drives me crazy I’m not sure of any books but I’m sure if you went to a bookstore they may be able to recommend something. You can email me at artman_22@yahoo.com
