## Description

S top worrying about your health and enjoy life. Many of us have a tendency to worry unnecessarily about our health. This can be worse in a time of global panic about pandemics. For some, the anxiety becomes chronic, and they may spend many hours checking for symptoms, seeking reassurance from others, surfing the internet for information about different diseases, or repeatedly visiting the doctor. It is distressing for them and for everyone around them. In fact, health anxiety can be very successfully treated with cognitive behavioural therapy - the approach taken in this self-help guide. Using a structured, step-by-step approach, the authors explain how the problem develops, how to recognise what feeds it and how to develop effective methods of dealing with it. - Includes questionnaires, case studies and exercises - Based on proven CBT techniques - Includes a chapter on fear of death and fear of vomiting

Review: A really helpful book - I have always had health anxiety, but during pregnancy it got really bad (I am now 28 weeks pregnant) so I started CBT and bought this book. This book really goes into the mechanisms of the hypochondriac's brain and helps you to see things more clearly and also suggests treatment, techniques and looks into medication. It is very important to feel someone understands and this book does just that, it makes you feel less alone by describing exactly the thought patterns which you can recognise as your own. I would absolutely suggest anyone who unfortunately has this problems to buy this. PS I would also like to add that therapy is costing me 50 euro per session and the therapist is giving me advice which seems like a poor, less effective version of what is in this book!
Review: Very Helpful Book - Really helpful guide on what health anxiety is and various approaches to tackling it. I found many of the exercises contained within to be very helpful and will continue with them.

Really helpful guide on what health anxiety is and various approaches to tackling it. I found many of the exercises contained within to be very helpful and will continue with them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended Text
*by R***S on 20 March 2014*

This text was recommended to me by a healthcare unit. I have been suffering from stress recently and last year lost my Dad with cancer. At the moment I am thinking that every minor ailment is a life threatening problem. The text is easy to read and is helpful if used as a cognitive behaviour therapy programme. It makes a lot of sense. I would also recommend anyone thinking of buying it to also read Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now.
