Synopsis It may come as some surprise to learn that the best way to deal with a problem like anxiety is to invite it in, to abandon the struggle, and embrace the symptoms. Panic and anxiety attacks thrive on human resistance, and without it they often simply disappear. This and many other key approaches to overcoming attacks are to be found in this informative book by R. Reid Wilson, who goes into very specific detail on how to build one's own panic-defeating bag of tricks. Reid recommends creating a mental catalog of positive imagery, and to practice muscle relaxation and focused breathing before and during stressful situations. Also important is recognizing one's inner "negative observer" and turning it into a positive and nurturing one. Problems like hypoglycemia and PMS can exacerbate panic symptoms and these and other related problems are covered, as are the wide variety of prescription anti-anxiety medications available.
