INDISPENSABLE AND GROUNDBREAKING NEW BOOK FROM A LEADING EXPERT REVEALS THE SECRET TO A FEAR-FREE LIFE.
*Do you have a crucifying fear of flying, snakes or spiders?
* Perhaps you have a more unusual but equally debilitating phobic dislike of fish or buttons?
* Does standing up and speaking to a room full of strangers give you nightmares?
* Do you suffer from panic attacks?
* Do you feel constantly fearful when in a relationship?
Your breathing is rapid. Your heart is throbbing. Your eyes dart around. Your palms are damp and clammy. Your face flushes. Your heart beats faster. Your jaw tightens. Your mouth dries. You have no control. You are in the grips of fear.
Dr Lucy Atcheson, leading psychologist and star of BBC3�s hit show Panic Room, shows you how you can live the life you truly deserve - phobia, anxiety and fear free.
Never again will you be held back by a fear of heights or a spider phobia. Free Yourself from Fear is the guide to achieving confidence and control.
A phobia is an intense fear of a situation or item and has the ability to severely hinder your life experience.
� 1.9 per cent of adults in Britain regularly experience severe phobias
� Almost 10 million people in the UK suffer from Agoraphobia (fear of leaving the home)
(statistics from The Office for National Statistics)
If not confronted, fears can become very real and spiral out of control.
In Free Yourself from Fear, Dr Lucy Atcheson provides you with the keys to unlock your fears and conquer them. She argues that our fears can be challenged and overcome by examining how we respond to fearful situations and altering your behaviour. In discovering and confronting the deepest roots of your fears, you will experience fear from a different point of view.
Phobias and anxieties can leave you feeling vulnerable and isolated, but with Free Yourself from Fear you can stop fear in its tracks.
