Embracing the Fear

“I have found that recovery comes from acceptance, from letting the panic come without fighting it. I’ve learned this and so much more from Embracing the Fear. It has given me my life back.”
– Lori

“This is one of the best self-help books I have read on agoraphobia. I wish this book had been around when I was afflicted by my panic disorder. I would highly recommend Embracing the Fear as worthwhile reading.”
– Al Kasha, Oscar-winning composer, writer, and producer

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common types of mental health problems among adults in the United States today. Problems can range from mild anxiety and simple phobias to panic attacks and agoraphobia (a fear of being trapped and unable to get help). It is estimated that eight percent of the U.S. population will suffer from an anxiety problem sometime in their lives.

This book includes personal recovery stories and exercises that focus on managing our anxiety and changing the way we think and act. Embracing the Fear helps us to accept our feelings of anxiety and panic and develop self-nurturing thoughts and behaviors.
