From Panic to Power by Lucinda Bassett (1997, Paperback)

I received this book in the mail, sat down and read the entire thing within 2 days! That is very hard to do since I have 2 small children, but I managed!! It was so helpful to read Lucinda's stories and think of things in a different perspective. I no longer have my anxiety and have been off my medicine for 2 1/2 months now!!! After I read her book, it was shortly after that I started weaning myself off my medicine and my symptoms started to disappear. Thank you so much Lucinda. I recommend this book to anyone suffering from anxiety and depression. It really helps. This book is also a much cheaper alternative to her 13 disc program, which is around $400.00. Try this before you spend that much money. I was so glad I did.

I purchased the book to shed some light on anxiety disorder. Not only did I get educated but I learned how to beat it as well. Lucinda Bassett shares real life experiences and success stories. She brings the topic down to the average person's level. It's an easy book to read, very practical, and inexpensive. This is a must read for anyone who ever suffered from anxiety, depression, and/or panic attacks.

From "Panic To Power by Lucinda Bassett." This book I love. Many times fear and anxiety take over and causes a person so many problems. This book helps to put an end to those problems by learning how to get control of those panicky thoughts. This book came with my Attacking Anixety & Depression coaching program. Even helping to change "What-If" negatives into What-If thinking positives. Instead of thinking what-if I have a bad day? ito thinking "What If" I have a good day?. Or What If my depression gets worse? Changing that into thinking What if I had no depression?. This is what I needed to hear that I could change my thinking and that it is possible for me to think positive thoughts and see the glass half-full instead of always seeing it as half-empty. Learning for me to go from a Panic Attack to discovering the wonderful Power that lies within you.

Lucinda Bassett understands because she was once for many years stuck with these same problems. She prayed for recovery found out she was not alone and began researching anxiety and depression and began the Midwest Center in 1984. Lucinda Bassett's books and her program <B>Attacking Anxiety and Depression</B> have helped millions to recover from anxiety, depression, worrying, etc....


This is an excellent book. And definitely worth taking the time to read it.


I hope this review was helpful.

This book is great. Lucinda really knows what she is talking about. It is great if you or someone you love is dealing with anxiety. There are a lot of cognitive skills that she teaches you to help get rid of your anxiety before it turns into panic. It is also helpful to understand anxiety and what someone is going through when they experience a panic attack.

This book puts the mysteries of anxiety into plain english and not some scientific mumbo-jumbo. Most books I've found concentrate alot on the foods and meditation. This one just makes downright good sense and explains that everything will be okay.

this is just the book for those with anxeity and panic disorder. it lays to rest all the fears that people with this disorder have that their doctors don't assure them about. I have bought many copies of this book for gifts for my 30-something, stay-at-home work-a-holic mother friends that do nothing but take care of everyone else. It is truly a worth-while read and worthe the money for some "peace" of mind.

This book is really good at describing not only the problem but very practical steps to reduce or remove anxiety from the reader's life. We've read several books on the subject and few have been as direct and to-the-point. Very helpful.

This is an excellent book, it has help me very much. I highly recommend anybody with any type of anxiety or depression read this.

I bought this book as a companion to Lucinda's 15 week program through the Midwest Center for Stress Reduction, to end panic and depression. Although a good companion, it's not a guarantee to end either condition but rather should be used as a guide to a beginning of getting yourself on the right track. Lots of hardwork and an absolute commitment to recovery on your part is essentail.

I'd like less talking about her story and more explicit details on how to handle particular situations.Maybe lots of case studies with examples of what sort of processes other people went through in order to recover from anxiety and depression.

I believe she did reprint this book with an update at some point since 1997, but haven't seen a copy of that.

I decided to buy this book after checking out several books at the library regarding anxiety. This was the only book that really spoke to me as a reader. Many of the other books while helpful were a bit dull and monotonous. Reading this book felt like you were getting advice from a friend. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to reduce their stress and anxiety level. If you use the books suggestions, you will feel remarkably better.

I decided to buy this book because I enjoy reading SELF HELP books. I found this book to be very inspirational and helpful in conquering anxiety and depressive thinking. The author's own story seems very honest and is one that so many of us can relate to. The overall message I got from this book is that you really have to want to HELP YOURSELF if you want to see improvement in your life's circumstances.
