Product Description Explains how creative problem-solving and decision-making can help relieve the stress and tension that comes from feeling overwhelmed, providing step-by-step exercises on planning ahead, setting realistic goals, thinking straight, and self-hypnosis. From AudioFile Though many mental health audio programs about human suffering are painful in themselves as listening experiences, this one is a delight to hear. Read by a wonderfully informed narrator, the program talks about anxiety conditions with compassion and clarity, and gives the listener optimism and some nice tools for recognizing the different ways anxiety can mess up our functioning. Along with great advice about self-treatment and prevention, there are up-to-date descriptions about professional therapies. The lessons on healthy thinking, life balance, and setting reasonable goals are particularly helpful. An essential reference for anxiety sufferers who want a more peaceful life.
