The Complete Guide to Overcoming Health Anxiety: How to Live Life to the Fullest...Because You're Not Dead (Yet)

Are you terrified of getting cancer or having a stroke? Do you or a loved one worry about experiencing a catastrophic medical event? Do you find yourself trapped in a never-ending cycle of researching medical symptoms online, monitoring your oxygen levels, or seeking reassurance about your symptoms from anyone who will listen? If these questions hit close to home, you might be one of the 4% to 10% of the population grappling with a condition known as health anxiety.

The Complete Guide to Overcoming Health Anxiety is an educational, humorous, and skills-driven self-help book (that can easily be used as a therapist guide). Leveraging our 30+ years of combined clinical experiences and the latest scientific research in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for treating anxiety disorders, this guide delivers a step-by-step approach to learning and practicing new skills all while embracing the mindset of an anxiety specialist, just like the authors. Beyond the science and skills, each chapter was crafted intentionally with narrative storytelling, alarming health statistics, curious metaphors, and pop culture references to maximize engagement and interactivity in the learning process. Instead of spending the rest of your days living IN fear of your health concerns, this book will help you embrace living WITH fear while building more mastery, joy, and purpose in the life you want and deserve.
