If you are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, DPDR or all 3 rolled into one, you are not alone. I understand how incredibly isolating and frustrating dealing with those issues can be. I’ve been in the thick of panic attacks and DPDR myself, that’s why I created this reading list for anxiety. All the books included below have personally helped me in my own healing journey.
When you find yourself stuck in the panic cycle, everyday can feel like ground dog day, the same fears and worries day in and day out. It can seem hopeless to find your way out. I get it! But it doesn’t have to be hopeless. It doesn’t have to seem impossible, and you do not have to live in fear and worry for the rest of your life.

It is going to take some work on your part, work that might seem ridiculous or even to simple at times. Putting in the work in the beginning was the hardest part for me, but finding my own freedom and breaking the hold that anxiety and DPDR held on my life has been worth every amount of effort I have put in and then some!
With that in mind, as you go through this list and begin to read these books, keep an open mind and heart to the messages and take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
