Description

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has helped hundreds of thousands of people with health anxiety across the globe. It has helped my clients; it has helped me; and it can help you.

Each chapter offers a series of CBT lessons on how to address health anxiety by changing problematic beliefs and behaviors such as:

Black and white thinking

Catastrophizing

Tunnel vision

And more

You'll learn how to recognize and escape these harmful thought patterns. Armed with these tools, you will be able to free yourself from constant web searches of symptoms of deadly illnesses and costly trips to the doctor that turned out to be just panic. Each CBT lesson is packed with raw, vivid and sometimes humorous anecdotes of real-life struggles with health anxiety experienced by me and my clients.
