Freedom from Health Anxiety: Understand and Overcome Obsessive Worry about Your Health or Someone Else’s and Find Peace of Mind

by Karen Lynn Cassiday PhD and Simon Rego PsyD
 

"In Freedom from Health Anxiety, nationally recognized anxiety expert Karen Lynn Cassiday teaches you skills to conquer health anxiety, once and for all. You’ll learn to switch from focusing on worst-case scenarios to appreciating the joy of the present moment—regardless of  health status. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and the author’s “learned inhibition” model, you’ll finally acquire the tools you need to take charge of your fear and break the cycle of stressing over your—or your loved one’s—well-being. You’ll also learn effective methods for tolerating health uncertainty, getting in touch with your body’s cues, and rediscovering the pleasure of the present."





The Essential Guide To Health Anxiety


"There’s a big difference between coping with your anxiety symptoms and true healing. True healing is found the moment you realize that what you once feared greatly no longer has the same powerful control over you. How great would it feel to no longer be led by irrational fear, but rather instantaneously see through the thoughts and feelings that once led you to spiral into a world of inner chaos, confusion, frustration, and anxiety about your health?"






Overcoming Health Anxiety: Letting Go of Your Fear of Illness

by Katherine Owens PhD and Martin M. Antony PhD


If you’re ready to stop being overly preoccupied with fears about your health, Overcoming Health Anxiety offers an evidence-based approach called cognitive behavioral therapy to help you get started. You’ll learn the difference between people with health anxiety and hypochondriacs, find the root of your health anxiety, and challenge illness-related thoughts. In time, you’ll drastically reduce your fears and enjoy a life free from recurring health-related worries."
