Average rating: Stars

Powerful!

As a panic attack sufferer, I have always been on the lookout for new books on the subject. This is one of the better ones I've read. What I like about it is the fact that it was written by an indiviual who has HAD panic attacks, not by some doctor who just diagnoises them. She's affable and real, which, when one is faced with anxiety/panic, this is so comforting.

Ms. Basset takes a really good approach to this subject, not too clinical and very personable. I've found that rare in other books, though there are a few out there that are on par with this one:
"What If--My Story of Panic Attacks"
"Master Your Panic"
"Embrasing the Fear"

Any of these books are great to read if you have panic and "From Panic to Power" is a good one to start with.

From Panic to Power: Proven Techniques to Calm Your Anxieties, Conquer Your Fears, and Put You in Control of Your Life - Lucinda Bassett

Phobic No More!

The soothing thing about Lucinda is that she knows the topic of which she speaks, speaks like a normal person, and is devoid of the new age mumbo-jumbo that only causes people to spiral out of control more. This is a program about becoming a grounded person, and it is probably one of the few resources that can help someone self-manage their way out of the cluster of negative patterns contributing to panic and anxiety. If you grew up in an atmosphere of fear, Bassett is especially helpful for her innate understanding, since she herself grew up in an alcholic home. This program has helped many people since 1985 and if time is the true litmus test ... this is an essential toolkit.

This Wonderul Book Is Helpful To All

Panic To Power is a great starting place for those wanting to learn more about stress, anxiety, and more. Stress leads to anxiety and stress can cause many health problems. I know because I have been there and my stress turned into Anxiety Disorder, which led to Panic Disorder, severe Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia, Bi-Polar and more.

This book offers tips on Positive Self-Talk, Self-Esteem, Nutrition, Assertivness, Medication suggestions and so much more. It is so true to life that you will even laugh and really think hard at times. I have ordered the Attacting Anxiety program from Midwest Centers which Lucinda started many years ago. The actual workbook reads, "A Self-help, Self-Awareness Program for Stress, Anxiety, & Depression."

In case you do not know know; Lucinda has a degree in nursing and her grade point average was 4.0. Just watching the "Jump Start" tape/CD with her, Dr. Fisher, and others is a sign that there is hope. I also enjoy listening to the CD lessons. It is also available in cassette format. They will work out a payment plan for you and you may request information to be sent to your doctor. There is a possiblilty that your insurance may cover part of the cost however, you and your doctor may have to do some detective work on that part. More information is in the "Panic To Power" book on how to do this.

I highly suggest that you at least check it out. I learned things by watching the "Jump Start" CD and reading this book that in ten years of treatment with various doctors they never ever told me. Since I read the book and watched that CD, I am now more involved in my treatment. When I went to my next therapist visit, I inquired as to why in 10 years not one single doctor or therapist offered this information, which would have kept me from ending up where I am today. I urge you to order this book and read it. If you read this book and like it, there is no doubt you will benefit from ordering the program. Please do not wait, your life is waiting.
