Its kind of cheesy and American, but it's helping me a bunch, so who cares, right? <br />The other two i bought but haven't read yet are "Embracing the Fear: Learning to Manage Anxiety and Panic Attacks" by Judith Bemis and "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by Edmund J. Bourne.<br /><br />As for therapists, there's a ton of stupid rules, like if you're over 37 and depressed they won't pay part of the fee, but if you have a good doctor like me, getting a referral isn't that hard. Might want to say it's for depression and not anxiety unless you're under 27... more stupid rules. And make sure the therapist you see knows about anxiety. But i really recommend reading up a bit before getting counseling, it really helps to be able to identify your symptoms before talking to someone. I wish i'd done that.floraamalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027556973128237456.post-5516930729690791472011-10-28T11:09:55.104+02:002011-10-28T11:09:55.104+02:00Also you mentioned a therapist.

It is amazing that people with anxiety often have the same funny thoughts and you think your the only person in the world who could think that way. Well happy reading! (I think I need to pull out the book again this week, feeling like I might need a refresher). That's the great thing about the books, they are always there when you need em :) xo Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027556973128237456.post-4370577734070942732011-10-27T05:45:56.561+02:002011-10-27T05:45:56.561+02:00Wow, my slacking and your slacking are two entirel...Wow, my slacking and your slacking are two entirely different things!

I remember getting the referral and thinking...huh? A physiotherapist? Don't they usually deal with sports injuries and things? Turns out there are mental health physiotherapists who deal specifically with anxiety, and although I didn't get to have too many sessions with her, the ones I had were brilliant. Like, she could tell just by looking at me that I was anxious because of my posture and breathing and so on...those things are caused by anxiety but they then also make it worse, because certain chemicals are released into your system when you are shallow breathing/tensed up and so on, which in turn make you more anxious, and the cycle continues. It was really interesting and she did some great relaxation techniques with me. I don't know how easy it is to see someone like that in Denmark but it's well worth looking into (I didn't even know mental health physiotherapists existed, and I don't think many people realise they're out there). Hope the books continue to help!Siannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027556973128237456.post-70535866069533110802011-10-26T13:08:27.285+02:002011-10-26T13:08:27.285+02:00Im looking forward to this post about books.
