Acceptance therapy
Top class book. I used and use it to help me overcome my driving anxiety. CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is the idea that changing thoughts leads to changing moods and decreasing anxiety. This is very important. But this book teaches more of an acceptance therapy where we accept anxiety, dont avoid it, and learn to function with it. Over time this leads to the anxiety resolving. I think this book is very important because CBT helps me before a drive, but when i am actually in the car acceptance therapy works better. Both are important. To me it is impossible to overcome anxiety without reading. I read 5 books, and they help enormously.
