The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook
What this book is about
The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook is a detailed self-help reference covering panic, generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, and related concerns. It includes education, self-assessments, relaxation practices, cognitive strategies, exposure concepts, lifestyle considerations, and worksheets. Because the book is broad, readers can focus on the chapters most relevant to their needs rather than moving through every section. Exposure work and major treatment decisions are best approached thoughtfully, particularly when symptoms are intense or complicated by trauma, medical concerns, or substance use.

This is a thorough and detailed book on different kinds of anxiety and a wide range of coping skills. It is a thick book that can also be used as a reference source.
