March 12, 2012 - PRLog -- This year, nearly 30 million Americans will experience a panic attack, and many of them will be rushed to our nation’s crowded emergency rooms, believing they’re having a heart attack. Most of them will be given prescriptions for medications such as Xanax or Ativan, but few will learn how to manage future attacks. Now, a new book from psychotherapist and anxiety expert Michael Jones aims to help people with panic attacks deal with these frightening bouts of anxiety without medications.
Titled Nothing to Fear:A Self-Help Guide to Overcoming Panic Attacks for Life, the book walks readers through a step-by-step process to managing their anxiety. Jones teaches techniques based on years of research to help people understand panic and how to prevent such attacks.
“Having worked in emergency rooms for nearly a decade, I wanted to write a book that would help the many patients I saw there who were afraid they were dying of a heart attack or losing their minds,” Jones recounts. “Since most of the people I saw in these settings were not mental health patients, I wanted to produce a book that was easy to understand and with techniques that anyone could use.”
Written for people who have had one isolated attack as well as those with panic disorder, the book details the relationship between thoughts and the fight-or-flight response system. Jones blends Eastern meditation practices and variations on cognitive-behavioral therapy, considered the standard of care for individuals with this form of anxiety. “I teach the strategies I use with patients in my private practice,” Jones states. “Over the years, I’ve witnessed hundreds of patients regain control of their lives using these methods so I know they work. Aside from the experiences of my patients, years of scientific research has proven this approach to be as effective as any medication.”
The e-book version of Nothing to Fear is on sale now at Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006GN7AMG, and Barnes and Noble, http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/nothing-to-fear-michael-j.... It is scheduled to be released on iTunes and in print later this year.
