Panic Attacks Workbook : Second Edition : A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick, Violator

Panic attacks convince millions of people that disaster is close, and many give up activities they once enjoyed without a second thought. This workbook is meant to help readers take back what panic has cost them, such as driving, traveling and everyday freedoms, using exercises drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

The author, David Carbonell, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who draws on extensive clinical experience. He explains what panic attacks really are, including the vicious cycle of habitual responses that builds toward a debilitating attack, and how that self-destructive process can be stopped. He then lays out a step-by-step path toward recovery.

Alongside CBT, the book uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It is a practical, hands-on guide built around research-backed charts, worksheets and programs, so readers can work through their anxiety and rebuild the life they want. This is the second edition.
