Anxiety disorders are extremely common in psychotherapy practice. In fast-paced modern life, anxiety seems to have become a shadow many cannot shake off. Written by two senior psychotherapy experts—Yevgenia Ivanova and Kirill Zarovny—the book draws on rich clinical experience and professional knowledge to provide a comprehensive and practical set of methods for coping with anxiety. It first helps readers understand the nature of anxiety, pointing out that anxiety is not entirely negative, but part of the human survival mechanism and cognitive process. The authors detail the neurobiological basis of anxiety, explain its causes, and teach how to distinguish adaptive from maladaptive anxiety. Through abundant cases and practical tools, readers can learn to identify anxiety triggers, symptoms, and how to keep an anxiety log. The book offers a variety of self-help skills—re-establishing daily routines, breathing and meditation exercises, relaxation techniques, distraction methods—and explores in depth how to deal with anxiety disorders. It introduces types and causes of anxiety disorders and treatment methods, and gives advice on choosing the right specialist for those whose life is seriously affected. In addition, it provides strategies for preventing relapse and concrete methods for drawing up a prevention plan. To help readers practise, the book contains several practical appendices: anti-procrastination rules, social-stress factor tables, values-identification exercises, breathing-technique drills, mindfulness-meditation exercises, delayed-anxiety techniques, exposure-therapy exercises, etc. These appendices provide rich tools to help readers cope better with anxiety in daily life. This comprehensive, practical mental-health guide not only helps readers understand the nature of anxiety, but also offers abundant self-help methods and tools so they can face anxiety calmly and ultimately regain inner peace.
