Anxiety and Panic

Dr Harry Barry Β· 2018
πŸŽ™ Narrated by Dr. Harry Barry (author-narrated)
79/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Thirty-six years of clinical GP practice gives Dr. Harry Barry's CBT and mindfulness framework a grounded, case-study authority that listeners consistently call life-changing, and the breadth of coverage β€” GAD, social anxiety, panic, phobias, OCD, PTSD β€” is genuinely unusual for a single volume. Some repetition across the case studies is a fair critique, but the range and depth of practical tools more than compensate. Barry narrates his own book, and his Irish warmth makes what could feel clinical feel like a conversation with a trusted doctor.
