 Margaret Wehrenberg W.W. Norton & Co. From A Press Release Book Description A personal guide filled with exercises and strategies to understand, manage, and conquer your stress. From the subtlest symptom of sweaty palms during a work presentation to the more severe manifestation of reclusion, anxiety casts a wide net. Indeed, anxiety disorders are among the most common and pervasive mental health complaints. Medication, once considered the treatment of choice, is losing favor as more and more sufferers complain of unpleasant side effects and its temporary, quick- fix nature. Today, owing to a flood of neurobiology research and insights into the anatomy of our anxious brains, effective, practical strategies have emerged that can help us to manage day-to-day anxiety on our own. Addressing physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, Wehrenberg, a leading mental health clinician, draws on basic brain science to highlight the top 10 anxiety-defeating tips. Everything from breathing techniques and mindful awareness to cognitive control and self-talk are included-all guaranteed to out- kick your anxious thoughts. About the Author: MARGARET WEHRENBERG, PSYD, is a clinician in private practice, and gives lectures and workshops around the country on a range of mental health issues. She is also the author of Anxious Brain (W. W. Norton).
