Mind-body bridging is brilliant in its simplicity and profound in its results. By far the most effective and easiest tool I have used both personally and professionally to achieve life-changing results. The symptoms of anxiety rapidly fade as we use our innate powers to overcome the self-defeating mind-body tug of war present in all of us. By learning and applying the simple techniques in this workbook, healing occurs spontaneously and powerfully." --Maxann Shwartz, PhD, founder of Clinical, Forensic, and Neuropsychology Associates of New Mexico "The Mind-Body Workbook for Anxiety is an incredibly effective resource for managing anxiety and stress. I use this program in my clinical practice as well as my personal life, and have seen people radically reduce their anxiety in as little as one session. I recently worked with a client who is a survivor of several rapes. Almost daily, she experienced high levels of anxiety and overwhelming thoughts, and found herself shutting down in certain situations. After using the skills of mind-body bridging (MBB) for only one week, she stated, 'This has changed my life! Where was this three years ago when I really needed it? I have finally found something that works!' I have seen life-changing transformations in many clients and know this program works. Choosing to integrate MBB into your everyday practices can relieve your anxiety and change your life forever." --Rachel Jenkins-Lloyd, MSN, therapist and forensic nurse at Salt Lake Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and assistant professor at Roseman University "This Mind-Body Workbook for Anxiety reduces anxiety and stress within days by empowering the reader to self-heal. The mind-body mapping exercises in the book let the reader personally experience the shift from a faulty brain network to his or her natural healing executive functioning. I have witnessed the dramatic impact of using the easy-to-apply tools in this workbook personally and in my work with patients suffering from anxiety and depression. As Block says, 'Self-healing is your birthright.'" --Peter D. Farr, MD, medical director of addiction medicine, Dearborn County Hospital, Lawrenceburg, Indiana and member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine "Using the mind-body bridging (MBB) tools described in the Mind-Body Workbook for Anxiety has had a very profound impact on my personal and professional life. I use these tools regularly with my patients and there is not only a rapid relief of symptoms, but a remarkably deep transformation that empowers their lives. I strongly recommend this book to all doctors and their patients." --Heli Jussila-Martineau, MD, Helsinki, Finland
