Hi everyone, sometimes I suggest these in a post but wanted to make a separate post. You can bet them on Amazon used and if not, they are worth every penny. I urge you to get them and if money is a problem, skip a takeout meal, a new CD, skip anything but get these. It's our whole life ahead of us. I am not cured of this but these books have helped me a lot. I was worse before. I pull them out when I am in a bad state and highlight things when I read them. OK, here they are:
Stop Worrying About Your Health by George Zgourides
It's Not All In Your Head by Gordon Asmundson and Steven Taylor
The Worry Cure by Robert L. Leahy (this one has an excellent chapter on health anxiety, if you can afford it, great book but the first two are the ones you should get first). Leahy is the most well known cognitive therapist in New York. As I am looking at it now, I would say get this too...that chapter really looks at it from a psychological view and so, so helpful, you will relate to this, I promise.
Asmundson is one of the pioneers in this field. He wrote a book called Treating Health Anxiety for the therapists to learn how to treat US. I would say you don't need that book for now as the first one I mentioned is far better for our purposes.
I know that some of you go to cognitive therapy and that's great but to have these experts at our fingertips, who really studied this specifically, is so valuable. I hope you can print this post out and please let me know if you get these and if they helped.
