The book Anxious minds need

This book is a must! If you are under the impression that you “suffer” from panic attacks or GAD, this will help change your mindset. You are not alone, and will get through this along with help from Dr. Barry.

Excellent!

Well read by the author. I will listen to it again. It is extremely helpful and practical.

muy bueno

Life-changing and delightful to listen to

I’ll spare the intimate details of my experience with GAD and Panic Disorder, but know that this audiobook fundamentally changed the way I view my anxiety and my relationship and reactions to it. Years of therapy helped in many ways, but never went through the whole process of teaching me to understand my anxiety on a biological level, address all of the physical symptoms I might experience, address the best way to handle my panic attacks, and recognize how I can shape the way my anxious brain operates in the future. Dr. Harry Barry does exactly this, and he does it exceptionally well and all within one book. A must-read if you struggle with panic, GAD, and/or social anxiety.

Cons: the examples can get repetitive, however I was able to identify myself across many of the different examples, so I didn’t mind. Also, “Dr Jim”, the doctor in the book, handles his patient’s experiences in a reassuring way, yet it can come across as dismissive, especially when one has experienced a level of trauma from their disorders. Lastly, my first experience with panic and the resulting fear of it wasn’t addressed in the book, so it took longer for me to accept that my panic isn’t dangerous. However, in conjunction with therapy I was able to overcome this issue. Just know that your own specific experiences may not be outlined in the book.

very helpful.

wonderful material. helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks. I strongly recommend if you have any kind of anxiety.

very repetitive but perhaps by design

understanding some of the inner workings of the brain and hearing from the collection of stories from others with similar issues seems to be helping.
