Review: Because it is based on CBT this doesn't just say "these are the symptoms you have/challenges you face, let's talk about how I suddenly started doing things differently and made my life better by following these seven simple steps...". Instead it looks at a range of symptoms, thoughts, behaviours, difficulties etc that people with worry and anxiety may have but remembers to acknowledge that different people experience different things. There are questionairres and ratings scales to fill in yourself to find out what areas you are affected in and to what degree. That helps you focus on the bits that are specifically relevant to you. It then looks at WHY you might be how you are rather than just accepting that as a fact and skipping it altogether. It looks at various factors that may be maintaining worry. Then it looks at a range of strategies and activities to try to alleviate the problems - both the source and the symptoms. Not all of them suit everyone; it's a bit of a try it and see which are helpful deal. It then takes a few specific worries (e.g. health, money, relationships) and looks at these in more detail. It isn't a quick fix - the good stuff never is. The suggestions need to become habit in order to start helping. Really readable and recommended by a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
