Sarah Rayner gives a clear explanation of the common symptoms of anxiety and panic that affect so many lives. She then goes on to give sound advice as to how to cope with these ongoing feelings. This entails a series of strategies that encourage understanding of the anxiety rather than its suppression, aiming to give control of these complex emotions back to the patient. It's impressive that she admits to her own anxiety issues, and without embarrassment shows how they have affected her life, how she has sought help over the years, and how she continues to deal with them. The fact she has written this book shows how well she has embraced her demons, able to get on with her own creative life. I will be recommending this book to my patients.' </em><strong>Dr P Fitzgerald, GP</strong></p><p><em>'Sarah's advice is very sage: if one is prone to anxiety, as many of us are, it is futile to expect to be totally rid of it forever. It will come back, but it is possible to tame it. She encourages the reader to be kinder to themselves, live in the moment, and accept their anxiety as an occasionally troublesome, yet integral part of their own being. Deeply personal yet eminently practical, this accessible and engaging e-book should prove extremely helpful to anyone trying to cope with anxiety.'</em> <strong>Dr Ian Williams, GP and author</strong></p><p>PRAISE FOR SARAH RAYNER: </p><p><em>'Rayner's delicate, compassionate exploration ... will resonate loud and clear with anyone.</em>' <strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></p><p><em>'Carefully crafted and empathetic</em>'<strong> Sunday Times</strong></p><p><em>'Brilliant...
