the University of Notre Dame, Roosevelt University, and Dominican
University. She is author of Hosting a Library Mystery.
“From fears to phobias and panic, this how-to guide unravels the
mysteries of worry, then delivers strategies that will lead you to
a resilient life.”
—Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Don't Panic
“Fear, worry, anxiety, panic, and depression block individuals from
living fully. This book does an excellent job of unraveling the
mysteries of the brain and how it causes anxiety, thus allowing
individuals to take control of their symptoms and manage their
lives more effectively. I have used the concepts in this book
in treating veterans with PTSD and have seen people become much
more functional. Highly-recommended reading.”
—Susan Myers, RN, LCSW, BCD, holistic nurse and board certified
diplomate in clinical social work
"This is a unique contribution to a wide array of self-help books
for those who suffer with anxiety. The authors explain what we know
about the workings of the brain in a fluid style that neither
talks down to nor overwhelms the reader. This science becomes
the foundation for decreasing bewilderment, fear, and shame.
There are straightforward and logical recommendations for
modifying patterns of anxiety that originate from, and are
maintained by, differing brain circuitry.”
—Sally Winston PsyD, codirector of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Institute of Maryland
"Catherine Pittman, a trained behavioral scientist, brings her deep
scientific understanding of fear, anxiety, and learning to the
world of personal experiences. Few scientists can make this
transition from scientific communication to public communication.
Pittman, along with coauthor Elizabeth Karle, does this very well
indeed. Readers should not be put off by the early
presentations of brain mechanisms, because they are surprisingly
readable and informative. Moreover, it is information that
provides a foundation for readers who have anxiety challenges to
use later as they develop effective coping strategies. Readers
should find the clear expositions of the where’s, why’s, and how’s
of anxiety and its management to be an anxiety-reducing
read.”
—J. Bruce Overmier, PhD, professor emeritus in the graduate
faculties of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science
at the University of Minnesota
