That's a good book. I actually came to understand all this better through a different book that I bought to understand my anxiety: Rewire Your Anxious Brain - https://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Anxious-Brain-Neuroscienc...

Curious about that book - did it help you? Silly questions, but serious: How much did it help? What, specifically, did you get from it? Asking for a relative who has serious anxiety issues (no, really, it's not me... I have depression, and Burns' "Feeling Good" helped me substantially, specifically by identifying brain-spirals I get into, which lead to depression, and once known can be avoided). I'd love to recommend something good for them. Thanks!
It's not hyperbole to say it changed my life. The most valuable thing I got from it is a good understanding of what's actually happening, and how I can change it. It's such a great, readable, easy-to-understand book (in my opinion). I've given away several copies.
Thanks very much! Glad to hear it was so good for you.
