Review (rating: 5):
The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edmund J Bourne is a valuable therapeutic tool for people who are willing to follow its lessons to improve their mood. I bought it for somebody in my family who suffers from anxiety and occasional panic attacks but I have used it for fifteen years with very good results in my clinical work with patients. I strongly recommend this valuable resource for learning skills to overcome the debilitating symptoms of anxiety.

This is a classic. Any day that I spend time with this book - usually just one entry at a time - greater peacefulness and focus are assured. And often the author's insights turn my views upside down - there's much to discover here.

Review (rating: 4):
I found the Lite books at the American Psychological Association conference this past August. While I work with adults I was browsing for something to help my 5 yr old get to sleep and to deal with pain management (frequent ear aches). I came away with Bubble Riding (lovely book) and subsequently got Indigo Ocean Dreams to check out more of what the Lite Selections have to offer. The Indigo Ocean Dreams CD has been a lovely addition to our bedtime routine. I feel good about the fact that my child is learning skills in such a sweet, enjoyable way and that will continue to be of use to him as he grows up (visualization, breathing, affirmations etc). A great find altogether - one that I'll be passing long to my child mental health colleagues!

| When Panic Attacks: The New, Drug-Free Anxiety Therapy That Can Change Your Life
by David D. Md Burns

Review (rating: 5):
The information and techniques presented in this book changed my life in a profound way. Not only have I become a FAR less anxious individual in general, but I have the tools to combat every type of mood swing imaginable. My self esteem is at heights I could have never imagined. Whether you panic left and right, have mild anxiety, or are simply a human being, I GUARANTEE this book is worth your time. This is the real stuff: researched based and tested over and over again.
Also, while I agree that a lot of this information is the same that has appeared in Burns' older classics "Feeling Good" and the "Feeling Good Handbook" I do find that it is presented in a more organized, easy to digest format that is focused on anxiety instead of depression. Despite containing the same underlying theories, it has expansions, re-organizations, and specifics that I feel easily make it a worthwhile addition to the Burns catalog.
I, obviously, wholeheartedly and passionately recommend this book for ANYONE.

Review (rating: 5):
I love the Indigo Dreams series. It has worked wonders for my son who is diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD. He somtimes suffers from nighttime anxiety and restlessness. This has led to many sleepless nighs and many nightmares as he struggled to work out the day's events. Since turning him on to Indigo Dreams he is sleeping sound and falling asleep relaxed. He likes the Boy and the Turtle the best and loves the rainbow imagery. We listen together and he is almost always asleep before he end of the CD! Wonderful and highly recommended!

Review (rating: 5):
I started having panic attacks and anxiety back in 97. It was really scary stuff, and I though I was losing it. I really thought if was going crazy, but I was wrong. I went to about 10 doctors with my simptoms, and they all gave me Buspar or Xanax, some told me to sit down and breath deeply and realax, during the attack (and that helped too). But the real help came when I heard a radio commercial from Lucinda Basset advertising his tape program. I could not afford it back then, but I ordered the free intro tape. It was an inspiration to learn more about her.
I looked on the internet and found her book (this one) and bought it. Never was the same again. I started living without fear again. I was getting to the poing were I didn't even want to leave the house.
GET IT. GET IT. GET THIS BOOK.
Lucinda is a gift from heaven.
God bless her.

I work with teens that are in foster care. I use this CD to introduce them to relaxation techniques. It is broken down in a way that helps them understand and try the techniques out. The teens that I have introduced it to thus far, have been open to at least trying it and once they have tried it they all say that really works.

Review (rating: 3):
I was hoping this book would explore shyness in more depth and reveal deeper insights about its roots in the psyche. It was rated well, so I bought it, and I've found it hasn't really helped my understanding much. I feel like I could have writtten a lot of it from the knowledge I already have. I would recommend Feeling Good(if you haven't read it) by David Burns over this because I think it is a more direct and practical guide that more broadly and thoroughly addresses anxiety and depression.
