This is a self-help guide for people suffering from mild to moderate anxiety and depression, using a multidimensional new method. This method is a combination of the well-tested and proven exposure therapy (which one of the authors helped originate) with the authors' unique system of trait and predisposition analysis, which takes the person's overall psychological makeup and inborn predilections into account, to create in effect a customized treatment for each person. This system also takes into account the three different components of anxiety, all of which must be dealt with to assure effective treatment, and includes a treatment plan for those who wish to take their recovery all the way to complete mastery—total banishment—of these troublesome conditions. This book addresses anxiety in all its forms, including generalized anxiety, situational anxiety, multiple anxieties, very private anxieties, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, PTSD, stress, worry, and fears, including response-based fears. It also addresses man forms of psychological depression, from depression due to losses (grief) to depression mixed with anxiety or anger, as well as other depression-related conditions such as grudges, regret, guilt, and procrastination. “There may never have been a more timely book than Misery to Mastery: A Revolutionary New Treatment for Anxiety and Depression. Drs. Silvestri and Racine have given us a masterpiece, not only for coping with triggers for anguish and despair—but to celebrate having discovered our personal roadmap to happiness and grace. Readers are skillfully guided to not only get back on the proverbial horse, but to run victory laps over their former adversaries of anxiety and depression. In the days of COVID-19 we are blessed to have such a sorely needed resource within our grasp.” —Harvey Milkman, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Metropolitan State University of Denver, Fulbright Scholar, Author, Craving for Ecstasy and Natural Highs
