Fight NOT Flight

Also included in this edition: Fight NOT Flight: The Key to Preventing Panic AttacksMost people are aware of the fight or flight response. It's the term we use when we refer to our primitive survival instinct. When we feel threatened, our fight or flight response kicks in, and makes us either want to fight the perceived threat, or else take flight from it. When it comes to anxiety, you can forget about fight. Whenever you feel anxious, it's because flight response chemicals are being released into your mind/body system. Let's flip the coin from Flight to FightThe word 'fight' brings with it a world of negative overtones. However, when it's used in the context of overcoming anxiety, it refers to flipping the coin from flight over to fight, and utilising the resulting pro-active (feel-good endorphins) to defeat anxiety. The ability to do so is a life changer, providing the confidence to enter any situation (or face up to painful memories) knowing you have the skills at your disposal to stop any resulting anxiety in its tracks. This short book provides the easy to learn, physical skills you need to achieve this from today onwards. I developed the skills you're about to learn as a means of overcoming my own battles with anxiety, and then went on to teach them to clients who visited my clinic in London from afar afield as the USA and Australia.
