Anxiety, anxiety everywhere

Anxiety, along with depression and stress are the most common reasons for people to visit their doctors. When experiencing anxiety you may feel frightened and alone. I’ve included some books suggestions for educating yourself on anxiety and the possible treatments (should I take medications? Attend for counselling?) as a good place to start.
 ·       Feeling Good by David Burns
·        When Panic Attacks by David Burns
·        Get Out of Your Mind and into Your Life by Steve Hayes

Sometimes we notice anxiety in our children. Here are a few books to look at if you think your child is experiencing anxiety.

·       Freeing Your Child from Anxiety by Tamar Chansky
·       Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents by Reid Wilson & Lynn Lyons

Check out your local library for these books and other books on anxiety. Most books on anxiety are based on Cognitive-behavioural therapy or mindfulness. Both of these methods have been found helpful for people with anxiety. If you believe you are experiencing anxiety it is recommended to attend to your doctor to ensure there are no physical reasons for your symptoms and also to discuss whether medications might be helpful.

If you have any questions or would like to start getting a handle on your anxiety or stress please contact Heather at 604-375-3010 or email at
