Author Shares RESOLVING THE ANXIETY DILEMMA

Worry. Panic attacks. Unpleasant anxious feelings.  In the past, these and other problems were very hard to treat. People would spend years in therapy with minimal improvement.

With the development of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), things have finally changed. CBT is an evidence-based treatment that strategically targets anxiety symptoms. Studies show that this approach is highly effective, rapidly improving anxious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

This is the goal of Resolving the Anxiety Dilemma - to help readers understand the nature of anxiety problems and resolve them with the powerful tools of cognitive-behavioral therapy. ?Using the latest research, Dr. Kollman reveals the surprising factor that drives anxiety issues. He also shows how changing our response to anxiety leads to a great reward: a freer and less anxious life within a wider world.
