The Body-Based Obsessions Workbook

Schiffer explores, with deep compassion, anxieties that rest on a vigilant and hyper-responsible relationship to body and brain. With written exercises to slow down and observe how you think and behave, she helps you to stop mental and physical maneuvers that backfire and reinforce anxiety. She explains how you got so tied up. There are excellent sections on preoccupations about the mind, sanity and mood, and on torturous sensorimotor hyperawareness. * Sally Winston, coauthor of Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts, Needing to Know for Sure, and Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety *
