Publisher's summary

“Out, damned anxiety.”

When panic attacks take over your body and heart-pounding anxiety suddenly makes it impossible to get through the day, you want answers.

What is happening to me?

Why is this happening?

How do I fix it?

When aspiring actress Reba Buhr was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in college, she didn’t have the first idea how to approach healing. Today, she has become an advocate for others who suffer from life-changing anxiety and panic.

Get Thee to a Therapist is a survival guide for the mental illness newbie. Are you nervous about talking to a therapist and psychiatrist? Not quite sure how to use health insurance to make appointments? No money for either of those?

Reba explains how you can find support at every income level and how to make therapy and medications work for you. She introduces coping tools that have helped her and covers little-known laws that protect people with a mental health diagnosis at work and school.

She has enlisted the help of doctors to explain what’s really going on in your body and the medications and lifestyle changes that can help you rebalance your system and get back to living an anxiety-free life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic guide for handling anxiety

This book clearly lays out a variety of methods and resources used to handle anxiety (although much of this could also be applicable for other mental illnesses). This book is an extremely useful first step for people new to the mental health journey or a great refresher for people experienced in this matter. I wish something like this existed when I started my own walk with mental health.
I was expecting a self talk book about how to conquer anxiety but this is far better, it's a guidebook to the resources available to ensure you get the best mental health care and understand all the options. Each journey is different and while a book can't cure anxiety this one gives you the knowledge to advocate for yourself and start your own path to healing.
The author writes in a relatable and practical manner and she also narrates the book very well.

Great info to get you started on your healing journey

Simple Steps

This book is relatable and are not just the author’s stories. She has seamlessly woven others’ stories and statements into the book. This book simplifies and normalizes the process of struggling with mental health and getting help. While recognizing mental health is very complex, confusing and not cookie cutter. Throughout the book, she reminds the readers she is not an expert but still demonstrates she has knowledge and is worth reading.

Reba Buhr sorts it out so you don’t have to

Reba Buhr narrates this audiobook in a youthful, energetic tone with a positive vibe, reassuring you that there is help and you are allowed to receive it.

The book is a step-by-step, detailed guide through the complications of health insurance, types of therapists, drugs, everything. Buhr has slogged through it all and sorted it out so you don't have to.
