| Excellent work on defense mechanisms and, in particular, those that are adaptive. Dispels the myth that defense mechanisms are always bad--in fact, some are not only positive, but also necessary for growth. A complete treatment of the topic. | |

“Anxiety, in a generalized sense, is a fear of “what if.” From a cognitive behavioral therapy perspective, to the anxious person, the fear that it could happen is as real as if it is happening.2 In the case of IAD, “I feel like I’m dying” can quickly and easily become “I am dying.” In a nutshell, this is how anxiety works: it ignores the present and often obscures the facts that might keep an individual feeling safe and secure.”

We seek answers, diagnoses, and treatments from questionable sources, such as the omnipresent “Dr. Google.” We stress and fret about our health, which ironically, has a negative impact on the very part of ourselves that we are trying so diligently to protect.”
