people	suffer	from	anxiety	disorders,	which	are	the	most	common	issues	that
bring	people	to	therapy.	Thanks	to	decades	of	research,	we	know	a	good	deal
about	how	to	treat	them.	In	fact,	anxiety	symptoms	of	all	kinds	are	very
responsive	to	treatment,	offering	anxiety	sufferers	long-term	relief.	This	book
gives	you	access	to	some	of	the	same	tools	I	use	in	my	practice	to	help	people
struggling	with	all	types	of	anxiety	symptoms.
The	techniques	in	this	book	are	taken	mainly	from	three	scientifically
tested	and	proven-effective	interventions.	As	a	clinician	and	also	as	someone
who	struggles	with	anxiety,	I	have	personally	found	relief	using	these	specific
approaches,	and	so	have	my	clients.	I	believe	you	will,	too.
What	research	and	experience	have	shown	me	is	that	a	combined
approach	of	examining	your	thoughts,	accepting	(not	necessarily	liking!)
anxiety	as	a	part	of	your	life,	and	learning	to	be	more	present	in	the	here	and
now	are	the	essential	keys	to	reducing	anxiety	and	living	a	more	peaceful	life.
Having	anxious	thoughts	becomes	a	self-perpetuating	cycle	that	creates
more	anxiety.	We’ll	use	cognitive	behavioral	therapy	to	examine	and	change
your	thoughts.	Strategies	from	acceptance	and	commitment	therapy	will	
help
