I stumbled across this fab range of 'Overcoming' books a few weeks ago and really think they are worth passing on.
An Introduction to coping with Health Anxiety by Brenda Hogan & Charles Young.
An Introduction to coping with Anxiety by Brenda Hogan & Lee Brosan.
An Introduction to coping with Panic by Charles Young
Cheap as chips (£2.99) very easy to read and very helpful - they are based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with exercises to try out and alternative ways of looking at situations. They seem to be affiliated to the Cambridge and Peterborough Mental Health Partnership NHS Teaching Trust and quite frankly they should be suggested to any one presenting themselves at the doctors with anxiety etc.
There are quite a few titles in the series covering the topics I've listed above and also phobias, ocd, depression, anorexia etc etc. You could read one in an afternoon easily - they are A4 size (sort of like a school text book size). With all the info presented in a positive encouraging manner.
Worth every penny!
