Introducing New Zealand’s latest book on
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Everyone experiences some anxiety - after all, it is both a warning bell and a motivator to avoid danger. But some of us have more, perhaps much more, than we need - in other words, 'the alarm is worse than the fire'. When it becomes a problem, you need to know how to deal with it successfully. Fearless shows you how to evaluate your problem anxiety and draw up an action plan

FearLess shows you how to evaluate your problem anxiety and draw up an action plan to overcome the unnecessary, disabling fears. Using the highly effective technique of cognitive-behaviour therapy, you will learn how to change the core beliefs that underlie your fear and replace them with alternative realistic thoughts.

Whether you suffer from general worry, panic attacks, avoidance behaviour, social anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, post-trauma anxiety or a specific fear, FearLess can show you how to free yourself from the most debilitating aspects of anxiety.

• Social anxiety.

• Specific fears (heights, dogs, spiders, airplanes, etc etc.

• Obsessions and compulsions.
