Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety: A CBT Guide for Moving Past Chronic Indecisiveness, Avoidance, and Catastrophic Thinking

I highly recommend this book. I have had an anxiety disorder for 7 years now and for the first time I understand what has been going on and most importantley what I can do, what not to do and how to BE with anticipatory anxiety. I love their approach, it makes more sense than anything I heard and tried so far. I feel very motivated even with a sense of fun to reduce my anxiety sensitivity with the DANCE approach. This is a huge gift considering the dispear and frustration anxiety can cause and I often experienced that. I have a particular driving anxiety due to fear of fear and I booked my first driving lesson to get back on the road today 🥳 This book will explain a lot and empower you to gradually over time get you as free as a puppy again. But, not like coping tools this will approach will increase anxiety short term to adress anxiety long term. I already tried the other way around and I did not work so far so I feel more than ready for this.
