Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Freedom From Fear
Howard Liebgold · 2004
60/100
👎 Skip It
Dr. Liebgold built this 10-week program out of beating his own 31-year claustrophobia, and that lived experience gives the exercises real weight. It's a solid step-by-step course for tackling phobias and panic attacks, though its 2004 publish date means it's missed two decades of newer anxiety research. Treat it as a workbook, not a page-turner.
