With methods and exercises based on the author's extensive clinical experience, Panic Attacks Workbook helps people understand the true nature of their panic attacks. It demonstrates the vicious cycle of habitual responses that lead to debilitating attacks, teaches how to halt this self-destructive process, and guides people along a proven path that promotes recovery.
David Carbonell outlines such cognitive behavioral methods as diaphragmatic breathing, progressive exposure, desensitization, relaxation, keeping a panic diary, and much more. He shows how to cultivate a personal attitude that facilitates solutions rather than placing blame.
He clearly explains how the very nature of panic leads people into a chronic cycle of anticipation, panic, and helplessness, and details how to overcome this pattern with innovative responses and an attitude of acceptance. Charts, worksheets, and program outlines help point the way through the workbook and on to recovery.

"This book single-handedly got me on my road to recovering from Panic disorder (Couldn't leave the house, couldn't be alone, couldn't drive alone, especially highways or far from home, etc.)
As a man, you feel castrated when hit with Panic disorder. All the things you used to do, used to love to do, and still want to do (like going for a hike, camping, taking a day-drive to the beach, driving to the country, even going to the store!) felt impossible for me. It was extremely saddening and depressing. Then, I got this book.
This book helped me just as much as therapy did. I only wanted to take medicine/anti-depressants as a last resort; and I never had to.
I can now drive on my own no problem and simply function! I don't wake up every day being reminded what I can't do. I haven't flown alone yet since this happened, but the idea doesn't scare me nearly as much as when I started. I am completely over "being alone", can drive with zero problem, even far from home, take elevators (with other people... I just hate those things ha), and feel virtually "cured." "Cure" is a bad word for anxiety sufferers, but I'll just say, I trust myself to handle panic attacks in the future. I can get through them, I always have. Future me is always ready for them.
Watching the authors videos on his website helped put a face to the words in the book, which as the other reviewers noted feels like he's sitting right next to you. I was literally saying "holy crap" every other page in this book at how exact he was describing what I was going through.
Combine this book with therapy, just so you have some accountability on what thoughts you're internalizing without realizing it, EXERCISE, and taking some vitamins, and you will be very surprised.
God Bless Dr. Carbonell."

God Bless Dr. Carbonell. - My SEVERE driving phobia came on, out of the blue, just over 2 years ago (after driving fine for many years). Bridges, overpasses, elevated areas, and sharp curves caused me the most problems. After the first few months of trying without any success I just gave up. I lost all my freedom and felt completely worthless and useless. After two years of feeling like a prisoner in my own home I decided enough was enough and started searching for help. I sure wasted a whole LOT of time and money along the way but I finally landed here on this book. Hope whoever is reading this review has found it early in your search because this it's really all you need if you have a strong will to succeed.
I couldn't drive anywhere really. The horrific and paralyzing fear was just too great. I purchased this book two months ago and started practicing immediately after hurriedly (but thoroughly) reading it all the way through and following his suggestions to the letter. Now here I am, two months later, about to take off on a 500 mile trip to see my daughter and I’m completely calm and confident.
YOU CAN DO THIS!! It will NOT be easy, no, not at all but please KNOW you can! When that day of freedom finally comes you will be beyond glad, you will be and feel many wonderful things.
Important Note I temporarily developed generalized anxiety while practicing as my nerves were raw. Not realizing what was going on I thought something horrible must be wrong with me and I nearly quit shortly after I started. I later learned about being extremely sensitized, that it was normal in the first few weeks, and that it would pass. I really didn’t believe it would pass but it did. I used the techniques from Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes to get through the generalized anxiety while practicing to overcome the driving phobia. I highly recommend you have it in your arsenal before starting out on your road to recovery and freedom. It’s very old school. You just have to chuckle and look past that. She did mention using medication but you don’t need it. If you’re like me, you think you need it, you think it’s the only answer, but it’s not and it would be another thing you would have to work through later so why do that to yourself. So thankful I didn’t. - I would like to start saying thank you! This book absolutely changed my life after suffering from severe panic and anxiety attacks I can honestly say I’m free, sometimes I have my days that I feel like I’m gonna have one but then I remember I’m stronger than that I do what the books says I acknowledge every feeling and it goes away just the way it Came I’m an extremely skeptical person but believe me when I tell you this book works, I did the exposure accompanied by my brother little by little... now I get to drive by myself, do grocery shopping all alone, I gained my freedom if that’s enough I don’t know what is.
- This book/workbook...oh my gosh. It is nothing short of fantastic. For the last year I have been dealing with panic attacks and a plethora of therapists who were unable to help me, other than some deep breathing techniques and telling me to meditate. After deciding I had enough with therapists, I took matters into my own hands. I ordered this book/workbook. Within a few days of reading and working my way through the book (I hadn’t reached the end), I was able to shower without my husband sitting in the bathroom or even being home- I just put the book down, got up and got in the shower like it was no big thing (and I’ve done it every day since as well). Fast forward to today and I’m working on Exposure (grocery stores and traveling outside of my comfort/safety zones) and doing really well! Having the panic attack picked apart for what it is, a trick, and learning the cycle and the things we do that make our attacks worse has been incredibly eye opening for me. I literally laughed out loud with relief a few times while reading and working through the book. It has educated, motivated, and prepared me. All of which I had been lacking when it came to my panic attacks. Oh- and I have a history of those absurd attacks, the ones that last over an hour, easily, every time. I have been able to do so much that I haven’t been able to do all year. I feel very proud of myself.
