I posted several title's in response to post (So Over It) in anxiety board. I think it was yesterday.
Three of the books help you understand your anxiety. And help you cope. I haven't looked
at the Worry Trap book yet. So I don't know what that one is like

Thanks so much, that's great x

At last a Life, by Paul David.

Anxietynomore.co.uk

I've looked -- me as an GAD person -- at a couple. Actually I own them. And frankly I haven't found them terribly exiting. <sigh>

Writings on depression have a long tradition. In novels, one kind, there has been talk of depression for centuries. So I wonder if it takes awhile for really good writing to come out. Oh and writing about paranoia, delusions -- long time.

This is my 2% ; I might be off.

As I re-think, novelists have have for a long time written about terror situations, and maybe some of that has been obsessive, unreasonable fears.

I wonder if google searches would come up w passages here and there .. about uncontrolled worrying . . . /cheers

There's a good book entitled, "Worry" by Edward Hallowell M.D.

You my want to look into DBT (Dialectical Behavior Training)-google it, I believe it provides to insights to help modify anxious behavior.

Guys thanks so much for all the suggestions, i'm excited to begin to understand! djchurn reading about DBT now, very interesting, cheers :)

I don't know of any workbooks per se, but when I was in day treatment they stressed cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and that has been a reoccurring theme in my psychotherapy. It basically points out the types cognitive distortions people use that get them in trouble, and the basic premise is: Change your thoughts, change your attitude and mood. It has been very helpful, but I need regular tune-ups with my therapist and daily reminders to myself to remember that as much as I would like to, I can't control others actions, I can only control my reaction to any given situation. If you are interested in finding out more about it, maybe try going on Amazon and seeing if there are some books about it.

Mind over matter in barnes and noble or any other book store. It,s a work book, i used it a good few years ago and found it helped me alot.

Perfect! Thanks guys all the info helps. I'm living abroad and looking for a therapist that speaks English. I've been unsuccessful so far so I'm on my own trying the deal and learn about this!! X cheers!! P.S

Don't Panic not sure who the author is. Anxiety for Dummies (I'm serious!).
And of course The Bible!

This book was a tremendous help for me.
