Summary of Dr. David D. Burns's When Panic Attacks

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Anxiety comes in many different forms. You may be afraid of needles, blood, heights, elevators, driving, flying, water, spiders, snakes, dogs, storms, bridges, or getting trapped in closed spaces.

#2 If you’re lonely and struggling with shyness, what would it be worth to you if I could show you how to overcome them. Imagine that you could go to bed tonight without that knot in your stomach, feeling confident and relaxed.

#3 The four theories of the cause and cure of anxiety are the Cognitive Model, the Exposure Model, the Hidden Emotion Model, and the Biological Model. They all have their advocates, and it’s not an either/or situation. If you and your doctor feel that medications are necessary, or if you strongly prefer to be treated with an antidepressant, you can use a combination of drugs and psychotherapy.

#4 The Cognitive Model is based on three simple ideas: you feel the way you think, when you’re anxious, you’re fooling yourself, and when you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.
