Not all anxiety, workbooks are created equal or even
readable.
Many of them are designed to be used with a therapist or our
therapist directed.
If you flip to a random page and can't figure out or
understand what the heck they're talking about, that might not be
the right workbook.
There are a number self-directed anxiety workbook that are specifically designed so that you, as the consumer can work through your issue without a therapist.
You can gain similar information as if you were in a therapy
session. But only if you actually use the workbook.
Owning it and looking at it from time to time will not
work.
Some of the workbooks in the marketplaced are pretty bad. Some
of them are okay.
And some of them actually achieve the goal of being able to
convey information in plain English and have a workable means of
you trying to deal with your problems by yourself.
So I have three anxiety workbooks to share with
you.
