The authors illustrate each point with creative metaphors and clear, relatable case studies that help the reader recognize that their suffering is not so different from others'. The authors also anticipate and address common questions, misconceptions, and reservations in Q&A format throughout the book....Grounded not just in traditional mindfulness practices, but also in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)."--Shambhala Sun (Shambhala Sun )
"This is an informative and highly practical book....Can be used as a self-help resource or as an adjunct to working with a therapist to develop mindfulness skills....Offers many case examples, stories, and quizzes."--Nursing Standard

A Great Resource for Anyone Who Struggles with Anxiety,
By Ronald D. Siegel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mindful Way through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)
Most of us suffer from anxiety to some degree. We instinctively try to wish it away, avoid it, or fight it head-on -- strategies which only make matters worse. In this compelling, well-structured book, Drs, Orsillo and Roemer offer readers the very latest, scientifically-grounded, understanding of anxiety and how to deal with it. The practice of turning safely and compassionately toward one's own fears is at first confusing, but ultimately profoundly liberating. They describe this paradoxical process very simply and clearly, in a way anyone can use. As a clinical psychologist who works extensively with anxiety problems, I recommend this book enthusiastically. Readers can also visit the authors' website for their excellent, free, meditation downloads: [...]

Useful resource for clients and therapists,
By Stephanie Czech - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mindful Way through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)
As a therapist learning to use mindfulness- and acceptance-based behavioral therapies, I find this book to be an extremely useful resource for my clients, and personally. It is a helpful way for clients to read and reflect on topics discussed in treatment. It is also a fantastic reminder for myself as therapist, in terms of incorporating these principles into my own life. Thank you!

Useful and thorough,
By Kristin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mindful Way through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)
This is a good, solid, useful book on mindfulness as therapy, and I recommend it for the person who suffers from anxiety--indeed, it could change your life. The only problem I had with it is that it is full of those "case-studies" (imaginary people used to demonstrate the principles of the book) which, to my mind, make the book almost unreadable. There is some character on almost every page.Of course, some people must like this, or they wouldn't write like this. Just a matter of taste, I guess. But if you don't and you'd like to read about mindfulness as therapy, you might try the brilliant "The Mindful Way Through Depression"(which has a few case-studies but not nearly so many) or anything by Jon Kabat-Zinn. However, these books don't deal exclusively with anxiety. |
