Kaygı bozukluğundan muzdarip kişiler için çok faydalı bir kitap olduğunu düşünüyorum. Kaygı bozukluğunu temelden ele alıyor ve yanlış yaptığınız konularda sizi aydınlatıp egzersizler sunuyor.
Elbette herkesin kişiliğine göre değişir ama ben profesyonel yardım alırken bir destekleyici olarak bu kitabın kullanılmasının daha etkili olacağına inanıyorum çünkü birçok insan çekingen kalabilir.
İlk okumamı yaptım ama her zaman elimin altında kalacak kitaplardan biri oldu.

Kaygı bozukluğuna sahip olanlar için harika bir çalışma kitabı. Örnekler akılda yer edici, anlatım diliyse sade ve anlaşılır. Benzeri kitaplardaki yoğun bilimsel ifadelerin bu kitapta yer almaması daha iyi olmuş. Ayrıca içindeki etkinlikleri de çok faydalı buldum. Öneririm.

Excellent livre, synthétique et exhaustif en même temps sur la thérapie TCC du trouble d'anxiété généralisée.

[Ohvely · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite useful but I personally think that some contents in the middle are a bit repetitive. At the end of the day, the overall principle is: one's thoughts can affect one's behavior. Emotions are affected by thoughts and often times people can't accept uncertainties due to the fact that they are not picturing the scenarios in a positive way.

Well structured, detailed, and accessible. A must read to learn how to analyse worries and anxiety, and develop strategies to cope with them.

I read this book as part of a government funded mental health program in my area. It was a hard read, but a worthy read. It is written in an empathetic tone which I appreciated.

I will warn that in the beginning there may be a lot of tears and frustration as there is lots of talk about how to be anxiety free that just doesn't seem attainable to someone who has struggled with GAD their whole life (like in my case). Things start to make more sense as you keep reading though. I wish that these things could have been brought up closer to the beginning to help with the frustration and hopelessness I felt when first reading.

This is not the kind of book you can just read and be "fixed". There are many challenging exercises and reflections that must also be done if you hope to make progress. The authors also stress that for those with GAD, their advice won't solve the disorder but will help alleviate some symptoms of it.

Another thing to note is that the book can come across as classist, out of touch, and pretentious at times which I hope will be remedied in future revisions. Some of the self care activities/goals mentioned are expensive and out of reach for many with GAD (expensive trips, expensive hobbies, spa visits, etc.). For these parts, I often had to come up with my own, in reach activities. I wish that they had kept the examples affordable and in reach for all, and those of upper classes can fill in their own more expensive examples instead of the other way around.

This book is highly effective at getting people with GAD to directly address their worries and uncertainty in life, often having you prove to yourself that it doesn't make sense to worry in most situations as it often hinders performance. Without saying it explicitly (or maybe she does, I forget), she is trying to get you to be more present and in the moment, which will greatly reduce your stress levels. It has a lot of great examples as well. This is going to be a lot more time effective than reading her book CBT for GAD, you probably only need to read the self help book. However, you should read both in order to fully understand GAD better, and to have more examples, and also to understand how the cognitive model was developed here, and what other ones exist for GAD treatment. My only complaint would be that this could have included more stuff on mindfulness, for that I recommend you read "the Power of Now". I also have a bit of healthy skepticism on focusing mostly on the positive associations with worry, specifically because in the main book "CBT for GAD" by Robichaud she mentions that substantial evidence has mounted for focusing on the negative associations with worry for treatment, but it falls under a different cognitive model.

[Leila Chandler · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is some good stuff in here if you have mild to moderate anxiety. A lot of it is about challenging false beliefs and building your tolerance for uncertainty. Sometimes it's a little tedious. I thought it wouldn't work for me because my anxieties are not as concrete as a lot of the examples they give, but more hypothetical and overarching, like: Am I a good mother? How do you plan an exposure activity for something like that? But near the end of the book there IS actually a chapter on planning exposures for hypothetical, less concrete situations and more vague types of worry.

However, if my anxiety gets severe to the point of daily panic attacks, then I find that the strategies in this book don't even touch it. You can't really reason your way out of panic, since it is not biologically designed to work that way. For panic attacks I prefer ACT strategies (such as DARE by Barry McDonagh).

[Saira · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am a person who is super scared of uncertainty but I barely do the safety behaviors this book lists. Also, this book didn't convince me that uncertainty wasn't as scary as I thought. But then again I didn't do the exercises like they want me to. I think if you have enough experiences where uncertainty is negative you get anxious.

[Shamilla · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is really for those who are new to dealing with anxiety issues. If you already done some work on yourself you won’t find much new here. But I think if you are new to addressing personal anxiety issues, and don’t have access to counselling services, a lot can be learned from this book.

[Johnny · Rating 4 out of 5]

You have to do the exercises from the book, but even if you don't- you will learn new things and feel better. On the downside, it is moderately hard to go through it all and keep up with it (reading and exercises). All in all, seems logical to me, worth reading, it delivers what it promises.

[Jan S · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book about various skills, I found many to be very helpful. I do wish there was more focus on free floating anxiety and skills specifically to challenge thoughts but overall this was a great book!

[Ally Schaan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great exercises!

برای من خیلی کاربردی نبود البته راه حل های مفید و تمرینات خوبی برای انواعی از اضطراب داشت

[Edovala · Rating 5 out of 5]

Şimdiye kadar, bu konu hakkında okuduklarımın açık ara en iyisiydi. En kapsamlı en dişe dokunur ve bilimsel yaklaşımlı. Tavsiye edebilirim.

+ Good for knowing more about Generalized anxiety disorder like its causes, symptoms amd how it manifests itself in the body and mind.
-Tools given to deal with it aren't that good.
