We all know what itโs like to feel anxious, worried, or panicky. What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based on reality. When youโre anxious, youโre actually fooling yourself, telling yourself things that simply arenโt true. See if you can recognize yourself in any of these distortions:
All-or-Nothing Thinking: โMy mind will go blank when I give my presentation at work, and everyone will think Iโm an idiot.โ
Fortune Telling: โI just know Iโll freeze up and blow it when I take my test.โ
Mind Reading: โEveryone at this party can see how nervous I am.โ
Magnification: โFlying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going to crash!โ
Should Statements: โI shouldnโt be so anxious and insecure. Other people donโt feel this way.โ
Self-Blame: โWhatโs wrong with me? Iโm such a loser!โ
Mental Filter: โWhy canโt I get anything done? My life seems like one long procrastination.โ
Using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on practical, solution-based methods for understanding and overcoming negative thoughts and emotions, When Panic Attacks gives you the ammunition to quickly defeat every conceivable kind of anxiety, such as chronic worrying, shyness, public speaking anxiety, test anxiety, and phobias, without lengthy therapy or prescription drugs.
With forty fast-acting techniques that have been shown to be more effective than medications, When Panic Attacks is an indispensable handbook for anyone whoโs worried sick and sick of worrying.
