Library Journal Review
Recovered agoraphobic Bemis (Overcoming Anxiety) aims to help the more than 40 million adults and teens who suffer from anxiety or panic disorders gain a better understanding of their disease. Based on the author's own issues and the experiences of those in her Open Door support groups, the book reflects her belief that giving oneself permission to feel anxious is more beneficial than denying the emotion. In a Q&A format, she discusses dealing with "what if?" syndrome and inevitable setbacks. Excellent, empowering guidance and coping strategies will give sufferers hope for recovery and counselors a new angle. (c) Copyright 2010.
