This is my first time visiting the site (to check it out for a friend who has bad anxiety) and I was excited to see that there was a post at the top about this book that turned my life around. I was referred to it by a neighbor who is a psychologist four years ago and using the TEA forms has changed my life. I no longer fret over every little thing and I used to go to the doctor at least once a month and the past couple of years I have only gone in for my annual physical. My life is so much more full now and the TEA forms have become part of my daily routine. All the early hard work on them comes back to you and my family has benefitted also. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to work on getting themselves better

If you suffer from depression I recommend a book by Paul Gilbet (2nd edition) called "Overcoming Depression". On the flip side: If you just want to escape & have a good laugh, read the book by Chelsea Handler "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea". (on the bestseller list right now) Her stories are hilariuos, I'm half way thrugh the book right now. Sometimes laughing is good therapy! I took yesterday off the program & started reading this book & I felt so much better when I woke-up this morning. Yesterday I felt like crap most of the day, it was hard to get out of bed & go to work. Life gets too serious most of the time! I'm learning to laugh more! All of us need to laugh more, it's very critcal to our recovery!!!
I read and loved this book in the cbt group I joined after I did Lucinda's program and the TEA forms really are simple and effective and helped me get over the top of my anxiety probs. I liked the tone and simplicity of the book too, the author was a long time sufferer of anxiety like Lucinda and was easy to relate to. I have been med free for over four years now and feeling better all the time. A must read for anyone who wants to take control of their anxiety and life and get off their meds.
