Already helping me in less than a week

Since starting the DARE method, I've been on a long walk with friends, taken the dog to a dog park a few miles away, and driven to two different stores to do shopping (all alone except for the walk).

Brilliant book!

The approach in this book is the first one that has actually worked for me and changed how I respond to the anxious thoughts, which I've been getting wrong all this time! The anxiety is still there but not as intense

Enter the DARE response. I read a free preview on my kindle and I had to admit, what I saw in the first few pages (which has the DARE response explained) convinced me to buy this amazing book. Within a week my perspective had changed to where I stopped fearing my anxiety, and instead, I started embracing it.

 Accept where you are and what you are feeling.

This book builds on the work of Dr. Claire Weekes and is helpful in reminding me to use all the tools in my kit. I would recommend reading it.

Worth every penny.

I highly recommend this book, I’ve never had experienced anxiety before to the point where I felt like I was losing myself and this book just made me look at my anxiety in a different way. Taking care of your mental health is very much important and purchasing this book was completely worth it for me.

What a Book! Highly Recommended.

 Within a few days, I felt I was able to start doing the things I used to do. Knowing that so many people experience similar symptoms as myself (and knowing that they have medical terms for them) is a relief in and of itself. I bought two additional copies for friends that deal with anxiety. Read this book and quit fearing fear.

This changed my life.

Barry let's you know what you're feeling is NORMAL! You are not alone, and you ARE NOT stuck!!The DARE approach is unlike any other anxiety 'coping' method I have every tried.

It's easy to learn, hard to master, but so so worth it. It will give you your freedom back.
