"When Panic Attacks" is mainly a collection of case studies that demonstrate different ways to identify and conquer various sources of anxiety. I have never read David Burns's book "Feeling Good," which is mentioned several times in this 3-CD set, but from reading other reviews, some case studies and ideas from that book may be repeated here.Disc 1 discusses the cognitive model for combating anxiety. In this model it is explained that you feel the way you think, that anxiety stems from distorted, illogical thoughts, and when you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. One technique used in the case studies, is to keep asking one's self that, if a certain anxiety-provoking event occurs, what would happen? The point in this technique is to get to the source of the anxiety. Another technique used is the exposure model where one submerges one's self in the activity or experience that causes anxiety.I found it humorous how so many of the case studies involved the higher echelon of society (I guess people who could afford therapy). A highly-successful attorney suffers from constant worry he might eventually lose a case. A biology teacher and 5-time Teacher of the Year is afraid of becoming a father, especially after attacking a burrito (yes, you read that right). Then there is a hunk who can't get a date because he is self-conscious about his body odor. On disc 2, we hear about a top student pilot who is afraid his friends will look down on him if he doesn't ace his exams. There is the woman who once suffered from panic attacks who ends up writing a novel. Even David Burns had to overcome his fear of blood when he was a medical student.
