About this listen

Do you automatically assume the worst-case-scenario when faced with difficulty? Do you stress about situations that haven't happened yet, or find yourself anticipating disaster around every corner? Does the prospect of making a decision leave you feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed? From subtle avoidance behaviors to the most nightmarish terrors, anticipatory anxiety is the engine that drives it all. Understanding how this hidden enemy tricks you, and, most importantly, how to overcome it, will liberate you to live a more flexible and joyful life.

In Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety, two anxiety experts team up to teach you how to manage your overactive imagination, limit future-based thinking, face your fears, make decisions, and live with more freedom and joy. This must-have guide is grounded in the authors' innovative and easy-to-remember DANCE model: Discern your anticipatory anxiety; Accept doubts and discomfort; No struggling or avoiding; Commit to proceed; and Embrace the present as it is, so you can get on with your life.

It's time to stop worrying about what might happen, start facing your fears, rein in your self-defeating imagination, and live fully in the moment. Get this book and discover the motivation and skills needed to take charge of your anticipatory anxiety.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I was hoping this book would help give me some tips to untangle myself from anticipatory anxiety. Intead it seems to give a lot of examples of people's anxieties no real cure for undoing what has been done after an event. It gets quite tiring listening to facts and stories when all I'd like is a method or a breakthrough from my anxiety.
The title of the book is called "Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety". Overcoming being a verb here. That would be fabulous if they'd written how?
I think I'll write a book, because I know what helps anxiety. The key is to have support and a fall back system. And a place where you can feel safe and reassured.
