I purchased this book to help understand and deal with my panic attacks, anxiety and emetophobia. This workbook offers a complete, step-by-step method of decreasing and possibly eliminating panic attacks and phobias. It offers rational explanations to replace those irrational panic attack thoughts. The workbook also provides detailed information for in vivo desensitization for phobia sufferers. Since implementing the techniques suggested in the workbook, my panic attacks have decreased. I still have panic attacks, but am able to cope with them far better than I used to, using the skills provided by the book. It's a lot of reading, but it's definitely worth it to free yourself from panic, anxiety or phobias.
