This one is for the anxiety and OCD sufferers out there. In straightforward language and useful case studies, the authors lay out a clear plan for dealing with that tricky and sticky problem at the centre of the anxiety struggle: uncertainty. Sometimes it seems like the only thing we can be certain of is that life is uncertain. But we can find it really hard to tolerate this reality. Helping us appreciate that certainty is a feeling, not a fact, and presenting us with CBT-based strategies for discriminating between thoughts, feelings and real emergencies, embracing the uncertainty that is ever-present, avoiding reassurance and ‘floating above the feelings’ while letting time pass, this book will (I’m pretty certain!) help a great many people.
