The 10 Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques: Understanding How Your Brain Makes You Anxious and What You Can Do to Change It

A licensed psychologist in private practice, Wehrenberg is a popular public speaker and the author of The Anxious Brain. In this book she offers general readers an accessible treatment of the causes of anxiety and a number of straightforward, proven ways for diminishing it. Designed for readers to use on their own or with a therapist, the text opens with a section on brain basics including how the brain functions to cause anxiety and the role of drugs in treating anxiety. The bulk of the book focuses on techniques for relieving the physical symptoms of anxiety, for managing the anxious mind, and for managing anxious behavior--ranging from diaphragmatic breathing and self-talk, to mindfulness, muscle relaxation, and "plan to panic" strategies--to help users learn to train their brain, manage stress, and regain control of their lives.
