بدون قلق : تحرر من مخاوفك قبل أن تسيطر عليك

by Robert L. Leahy

In his new book, Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., author of the best-selling book "The Worry Cure, " turns his attention to anxiety. Leahy looks at the origin of anxiety and teaches you how to outsmart your fears for a less stressful life. He lays out the symptoms associated with some of the most common anxiety disorders, including panic and agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress and provides simple, step-by-step guides to help you overcome the fears associated with each of these. "Anxiety Free" explores how preprogrammed rules of reaction, which are a product of the evolutionary process, keep us in the grip of anxiety. For each anxiety disorder, Leahy shows how our fears and unchallenged assumptions stand in the way of our freedom. Using Leahy's methods, which are based on the best psychological treatments available, you will be able to work toward a life free from the apprehension, tension, and avoidance associated with anxiety.

[Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not just another cognitive behavior therapy book, that you'll notice from the beginning. When I bought this book, I thought that I needed to learn how to get rid of my anxiety. No method I had tried before worked and as I got older the more anxious I became. I learned from this book that one must live with anxiety because anxiety is just thoughts and one must come to a point where those thoughts no longer have power over you. The more you try to get rid of the thoughts, the more anxious you become. I realized that was my problem. So far I've tried some of the techniques in the book and they seem to work for me. The big test will be when I fly down to my inlaws' place for the holidays. My fear of flying is probably my most severe anxiety. Until then I'll continue to practice the techniques. Because of the lack of readability of the tables and worksheets, I would not recommend reading this on a Kindle.

I like that this addresses that anxiety is innate. It’s just part of the way we process situations. I think some of us over process and begin to create scenarios based on the minimal information we may have. The unknown is scary for a lot of people, and I think this book encourages us to refocus our energy.

Отличная практическая книга с объяснением как работает тревога, страхи и пр.

[Olya Grigoreva · Rating 4 out of 5]

Занимались по ней с когнитивно-поведенческим психологом. Хорошая база для тех кто хочет понять причинно-следственную связь своей тревоги.

[Carla P. A. De Marchi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ótimo livro para quem sofre de ansiedade (assim talento como TOC, pânico, fobias). Ensina várias técnicas para lidar com as mais diversas situações e outras que ajudam a diminuir a ansiedade.
Recomendo.

The book provides a very good overview of the different anxiety disorders. I don't think that the book provided a solid treatment plan for any of them though.

[Lucas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Leitura interessnte para acadêmicos de saúde, pois informações técnicas podem ser usadas, pelo menos, como uma introdução ao tema. Ademais, a minha aplicação pessoal é valida e deixa uma provável reconsulta em períodos posteriores. O autor está de parabéns quanto a sua forma simples e objetiva de escrever e também pela qualidade das dicas. Só não dou cinco estrelas porque senti que algumas conclusões foram embasadas em evidências anedoticas. Seria interessante o autor deixar claro mais posições de estudos científicas ao longo do livro. De qualquer forma, suas últimas páginas são recheadas de referências. Fora isso, tá de parabéns!

Therapist-recommended and I am definitely a beginner to this kind of reading. It contains such good insight and I found myself writing down quotations that really grasped insights I'd never heard put quite that succinctly and clearly before.

However, I'm definitely glad to be using this as additional reading and not a workbook. While it's descriptions and clarity are powerful, any step or to-do felt completely vague. The opposite of practical, but very good as a place to start.

[Joshua · Rating 4 out of 5]

Repetitive in spots, really hammers home the evolutionary genesis of anxiety. Otherwise pretty good stuff to help change ways of thinking about anxiety.

[Ali Haidar · Rating 2 out of 5]

don't like this old fashioned thinking of overcoming anxiety. just smash through and hope somehow u get over it. we been doing that for decades and nothing changes . found that a paradigm shift in the way you view anxiety is more conductive than just biting your lip and going through entire days at a time of just feeling like shit until u collapse from exhaustion and just relapse

#RobertLeahy (директор Американского института когнитивно-поведенческой терапии) иронично назвал одну из своих многочисленных книг: «Свобода от тревоги. Расправься с тревогой, пока она не расправилась с тобой.»:

1️⃣ Мы все предки беспокойных невротиков, т к в первобытные времена расслабленных ребят съели хищники. Т е тревога - наш союзник, но уровень выживаемости значительно увеличивается, а уровень тревожности не уменьшается пропорционально, поэтому можно этому поспособствовать ;)

2️⃣ Чрезмерно беспокоясь из-за рисков угрозы для здоровья или жизни, ты рискуешь еще больше - не прожить счастливую жизнь.

3️⃣ Хороший чек на адекватность навязчивой мысли, спросить себя: поставил бы я на такой исход 1млн? Например поставил бы я на то, что сейчас действительно случится сердечный приступ; самолет упадет; сойду с ума и т д.

8/10

С одной стороны, каждое из расстройств описывается подробно и компетентно. Про социофобию написано внезапно хорошо. Такое бывает нечасто, потому что у нее пока что не было своей волны популярности, как у депрессии, ПТСР и выгорания. Хотя я бы поспорил с некоторыми моментами про социофобию и кое-что добавил про причины.

С другой же, вся позитивная программа выглядит зыбкой и ненадежной как нынешние границы РФ. Метод упирается в простое just do it, разложенное на последовательные шаги, которые так любит когнитивно-поведенческая терапия. Гладко это всё выглядит только на бумаге.

В итоге получаем внятный справочник по тревожным расстройствам. Его бы еще отжать хорошенько, чтобы стекли все анекдотики, не самые внятные заходы на эволюционную теорию и прочее. Как пособие по самопомощи - наивная реклама кпт, которая якобы должна спасти нас всех, от всего и сразу.

While I found the formal, serious tone of the book rather tedious, there is great content here. The author explains that the processes of unhealthy anxiety are healthy processes executed from an emotional state of fear and worry.

For instance, we do need to be alert to potential danger. But when we adopt an emotional state of fear BEFORE we assess potential threats, everything looks like a threat.

Information is broken down into specifically how this works within different kinds of anxiety such as PTSD and OCD and GAD etc. which seems particularly useful.

[Yuliya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Тяжело читать про разные виды тревоги. Сосредоточилась на том, что близко мне. Получилось лучше понять, почему тревога существует, как она может влиять на жизнь и что можно с этим сделать. Вести дневник и отмечать, как разные события влияют на уровень тревоги, мне пока тяжело. Оставлю на будущее. Понравились приложения, где приводятся техники расслабления и осознанности. В общем и целом, книга — это самопомощь. И к ней стоит относиться как к руководству к действию. Но лучше сочетать с работой с психотерапевтом.

[Moldir Seilkhanova · Rating 5 out of 5]

My first book on the topic of anxiety and mental health. I know there is a group of people who face constant anxiety and I am one of them. The issue of anxiety is pretty severe and it significantly affects a person's not only mental health but also gut health.
The book touches on different types of anxiety, explaining their origins, nature, and ways how to cope with each of them. After reading this book, I have more understanding of the roots of my anxiousness and I slowly but surely will face my fears to finally overcome this state.

«Тревожность действительно уродует жизнь, создавая искусственные ограничения в самых разных ее сферах»

«по-видимому, нужно столкнуться с тем, чего боишься, чтобы понять: на самом деле это не так ужасно и опасно как кажется»

«Чем больше и чаще вы делаете то, что вас беспокоит, тем менее тревожными становитесь»

Отлично разложено по полочкам. Нашла свою историю, нашла откуда у нее ноги растут, и как сдвинуть с мертвой точки тоже нашла. Рекомендации четкие и конкретные, аналитику в радость, можно дальше копать.

[Ivan Koma · Rating 3 out of 5]

Многовато графомании, но я понимаю зачем она здесь и такие книги должны повторять одни и те же тезисы чаще.
Для себя уловил одну хорошую мысль, а в целом понял что многое из книги меня и не касается (может быть такие мысли должны появится у всех после прочтения?)

[Maya · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am not someone who worries , stressed out and even panics for every single thing. Even during COVID time , I was cool and composed spending most of my free time outdoors. However, I found this book mega helpful with tons of good insights and simply a very fun read. I hope you do too.

[Ann Agapova · Rating 5 out of 5]

В книге приведены методики из когнитивно-поведенческой терапии. Это помогает справиться с тревогой и проработать её здесь и сейчас. Очень рекомендую.

Книга, где разбираются основные тревожные расстройства: ПТСР, ОКР, паническое расстройство, фобии и т.д.
Книга наполняет верой в лучшее и лайфхаками для тревожников

[snpefk]

best ratio of useful to bullshit I’ve seen in a while in a self-help / psy book *mwah*

[Katsiaryna Rudzko · Rating 4 out of 5]

Книга точно не для новичков, так как написана не самым простым языком, читается не быстро. Порекомендовала бы ее для интересующихся конкретно этой темой.

В книге автор уделяет большое внимание причинам возникновения тревог, подчеркивая, что многие из них имеют эволюционное происхождение. То есть страх высоты, открытых пространств, например, это что-то вроде “проснувшегося” не в свое время инстинкта самосохраненния. Психика направлена на то, чтобы уберечь вас от опасности.

В книге поглавно рассмотрены механизмы избавления от основных тревожных расстройств: фобий, панических расстройств, ОКР, генерализированного тревожного расстройства, социальной фобии, ПТСР. Можно открыть интересующую главу и прочитать советы для интересующей ситуации. Но при этом, когда читаешь книгу целиком, то где-то в середине понимаешь, что многая информация в части используемых подходов и методик повторяется из главы в главу. Основная мысль автора в том, что проработать тревогу можно только перестав избегать тревожащих ситуаций.

[Tess Mertens-Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book touched on many aspects of anxiety, but mainly PTSD.
It discussed real life case studies of individual because of either their home life or because of a trauma we riddles with anxiety and had issues with socialization, chemical dependency and sexual promiscuity.
This had many signs I have seen in people around me and some in myself. A good book to have someone step back and take a look at their life and make changes for the better

[Julia · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a weird book. On the one hand, it's really helpful, but on the other hand, I couldn't rid of the feeling that something missing. Maybe a therapist.
It's okay in general. I got a couple of new ideas about myself.

P.S. I am surprised that here are some reviews in Russian, most of them. Hello
