Publisher's summary

Don’t believe everything you think - here is the key to solving your panic!

Millions of us suffer needlessly from panic. We know something is wrong, but we usually think the problem is us: Am I dying? Going crazy? Am I weak? Happily, none of these thoughts are true.

Do you have panic and anxiety? Maybe you have sought treatment but still live in fear of another episode. Maybe you carry your anti-anxiety medications with you “just in case". What if you could solve your panic without medication? Without lingering fear?

Take the Woodward Panic Test. Assess your panic. False Alarm can help you come to terms with panic so you will no longer be afraid of it. It’s your body having a false alarm, when certain brain chemicals trigger at the wrong time.

Use these surprisingly simple strategies that work to solve your panic, once and for all. Then, you can finally start living your best life.

This book - based on Woodward’s many years of professional experience and success with patients who are like you - will help you understand what panic is and how to overcome yours.

He explores the following topics:

  • How to know if you have panic
  • How you developed panic
  • Why fighting panic or avoiding it won’t work
  • Why taking a benzodiazepine like Xanax will not solve panic
  • The two essential skills you must learn to solve panic
  • How to keep track of your progress in solving panic
  • The purpose and nature of the chemicals driving panic
  • What cognitive behavioral therapy is, and why CBT is such a good fit for solving panic
  • How to replace the fear of having panic with understanding and facts
  • What catastrophic thoughts are, how they drive panic, and how to replace them with rational thoughts (The book provides a menu of realistic ideas that you can choose from to shorten your time in panic.)
  • How to develop strategies for getting through panic and managing it
  • Why panic has been so troubling to you and why it has kept you from living fully
  • Why you will experience predictable psychological growth

Very helpful for solving panic!

Jim does a great job of explaining concepts in easy to understand language. Was very helpful in helping me solve panic I didn't even know I was having in social situations. I highly recommend this book.
