👍 Worth It
Two credentialed clinical psychologists walk you through real, practical CBT and relaxation tools for anxiety and panic in the reliably clear For Dummies style. It's a solid, no-nonsense pick, though the workbook format doesn't always translate perfectly to audio — and narrator Daniel Henning keeps it clean and easy to follow.
