Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety, based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research.

Up to 49 percent of the population have anxiety or panic disorder, and up to 7 percent seek treatment for depression. First of all, don't be ashamed. Having depression, anxiety, or a panic disorder isn't a sign of laziness or weakness. It's not your fault - just like a cold or a broken leg aren't your fault either. You're a strong, amazing person, but your brain chemicals have gotten out of balance and keep making you unhappy. But it doesn't have to be that way!

Discover simple strategies to manage your anxiety with ease! Social anxiety can range from manageable discomfort in social situations to actual panic attacks. Even in milder forms, it can harm relationships with loved ones and make you miss amazing career opportunities. Tiffany White offers a clear blueprint that will guide you towards a happier, more socially active life. In her book, you’ll find step-to-step guides to managing stressful situations and building healthy lifestyle habits that have been proven to reduce anxiety.

Relentless fear, chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath, among other things, are signs you’re having an anxiety or panic attack. Both may feel similar; this is because they share a lot of emotional and physical symptoms. However, an anxiety attack is a different condition from a panic attack. Anxiety can build gradually and is usually linked to an event, situation, or experience that’s perceived as threatening or stressful. Panic attacks, however, often occur out of the blue, and aren’t always cued by stressors.

Anxiety is the body's reaction to a perceived threat. When a person is under tension, the body reacts abnormally - the heart beats faster, breathing becomes rapid, and muscles get tensed up. But when a person is in a relaxed state, the body relaxes too - the breathing pattern is regular and healthy, heartbeat is steady, and the muscles calm! In short, relaxing would be the best way to control an anxiety attack. For those who worry too much, the opposite will be the best way to stop the anxiety from progressing. 

The thing about stress is that our body needs it to function effectively, as the stress response enables our body to respond to any danger we may experience. The challenge comes when we are always anxious, stressed, and depressed. Life feels like one endless roller-coaster ride. I mean, a roller-coaster ride is great, but only when it doesn’t take all day!

Using a beginner-friendly approach and covering the ins and outs of anxiety, from causes, symptoms, and types to how best to treat it, this book will help you overcome your anxiety like a champ.

What we think of and imagine and remember is from our conscious memory. Our past trauma and some incidents are kept in our subconscious memory, and it has control over us more than you can imagine. Due to the highly impressionable nature of our subconscious mind, it is important to learn how to control it. 

Today, we live under a strong blanket of stress that does not allow us to taste the intense moments that life makes available to us. As a result, anxiety, fear, and unhappiness capture us in an overwhelmingly grip. What I hear you saying is, “Okay, so what should I do?” Don’t worry, now we get there. You can't fight a war without knowing your enemy. You need to recognize the signs and different types of anxiety attacks to be able to find the relief you need.

Do you constantly feel chased for something? Do you feel frustrated or sad because you are not “good enough”? Have you experienced night terrors or panic attacks? Then, it’s time to consider revising and take control of your anxiety issues before it’s too late. With the help of this book, you will recognize the first signs of anxiety as well as when the anxiety partners with other mental distortions or disorders like stress or depression.

What you have before you contain specific and proven strategies to alleviate anxiety. To get yourself to hop into an elevator after five to 10 years; to get you to drive your car up a mountain when the only thing dividing you and the vehicle going the opposite way is a painted yellow line on the road; to commit to an intimate relationship after having been hurt due to mistrust and betrayal. What do they all have in common? They all require some faith. But with these proven methods, you can breathe more deeply while gradually taking your first step into a more liberated life.

If you're like one of the millions of Americans who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks every year, you probably spend too much time in your own head. Though our minds are great places to solve complex problems, they're borderline destructive when it comes to handling fear and anxiety. The reason for this is simple: as perplexing and terrifying as it may be, fear is but a feeling, and you cannot "solve" feelings. All you can do is choose to focus on them or let them be.

Have the symptoms of anxiety caused you to miss out on the things that make life most rewarding? Dialectical behavioral therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy. This therapy focuses on challenging and altering the unhelpful or harmful cognitive behaviors and distortions that can keep you from seeing the world in front of you as it really is. It can also improve emotional regulation and includes strategies for coping with the triggers that can bring your day to a standstill. 

If you are often prey to mood swings and a feeling of inadequacy; if your behaviors and emotions are influenced by intrusive thoughts that leave you frustrated; if you feel you are a victim of unhealthy habits and want to try to change them; then this practical CBT guide can help you acquire a different and better way of living. We speak frankly: Every day we experience stressful or unwanted situations that make us angry, scared, or depressed, but we cannot avoid them...instead we can change the way we react to them by helping ourselves with the behavior of cognitive therapy. 

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a short-term therapy technique that can help people find new ways to behave by changing their thought patterns. Engaging with CBT can help people reduce stress, cope with complicated relationships, deal with grief, and face many other common life challenges. More specifically, CBT is a problem-specific, goal-oriented approach that needs the individual's active involvement to succeed. It focuses on their present-day challenges, thoughts, and behaviors.
