Bridges, Planes and Panic Attacks: Getting Over Fear
I'm not sure when I first realized I was afraid of flying but it wasn't long after I entered college. I'd worry for weeks and weeks as the departure date would get closer and closer. I distinctly remember having diarrhea EVERY TIME I'd arrive at the airport. I also remember seriously thinking "we're all going to die" when we'd board the plane and I'd wonder why other people in line didn't seem more concerned about this possibility. (The way my fearful mind worked, it actually seemed more like a probability.) And once I'd get to my destination I'd have to worry about getting back home the whole time I was away! Even when ...

The 10 Best Anxiety Busters: Simple Strategies to Take Control of Your Worry
Most of the people in my counseling practice come for help with anxiety. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety is the most common behavioral health problem in the country, affecting about forty million adults and costing more than $42 billion a year.

Clearly, Americans need help coping with stress and anxiety, and they need more tools than just medication. I...
