I have tried several books but I never could find one that speaks to me and most are filled with empty platitudes that I could read on the back of a cereal box. I need, for me at least, a real human being sitting across from me. I need to tell my story and then retell it again because I am so ashamed of it all that I omit important parts of the story. I have to have the story pulled from me and forced to tell it again. This reduces my PTSD and anxiety. I am seeing improvement from my therapy but we have just scratched the surface.

If you have found a book at worked for you, I am glad. I wish that I could rid myself of my anxiety by reading a book. Congrats on finding something that worked. I think that is few and far between.

That's great that reading a book helped you!

I have to talk it out like Thor, and also write it out.

Hurrah for sharing what works!

Books have helped me also. But not before years of therapy first.
I read her books. The second book. More Hope and Help for your Nerves
was better for me. Rewire your anxious brain by Catherine Pittman helped
me after I learned you can change your brain. It is not a cure but is helpful
for understanding how your anxious brain works and give you tools to help
you cope.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't heard of that book. I am going to look into it.
