Freedom from health anxiety : understand and overcome obsessive worry about your health or someone else's and find peace of mind
Cassiday, Karen2022
Book
No matter how your health anxiety manifests, it can be a crippling psychological burden. Endlessly ruminating about illness and death can affect all aspects of life - at home, work, school, as well as the doctor's office. And if you're obsessing over the health of a loved one, that can put tremendous pressure on the relationship. In this book, anxiety expert Karen Lynn Cassiday teaches you skills to conquer health anxiety, once and for all. You'll learn to switch from focusing on worst-case scenarios to appreciating the joy of the present moment - regardless of health status. Using a blend of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and the author's 'learned inhibition' model, you'll finally acquire the tools you need to take charge of your fear and break the cycle of stressing over your - or your loved one's - well-being.
