When Fears Frustrate Contentment: Activate the Brain's Ability to Overcome Useless Fears: A Professionally Established Method

by Trevor N. Iskander, M.D.

Overview

Self-help for conquering stress, anxiety, and fear.

"The Desensitization Hierarchy Method,
described in this book, is a tool for managing
change, but its users will always be in charge of
deciding both what changes they want to make,
and how much they want to do at any one time.
The method is a bit like an automobile, a means
of travel, the driver deciding where to go, and
at what speed."
