At the moment, I'm reading Feeling Unreal by Daphne Simeon and Jeffrey Abugel. If DP/DR is an issue, it explains theories and causes pretty well. I haven't read it all, but it's main focus is on DP as its own disorder, but it does touch on anxiety.

Have you looked in the resource thread, I know there is a few books listed there. I'm happy you liked your current book, I've heard great things about it. Even my therapist recommend it, I should get it. :)

Fun little fact: I watched the film Numb this evening and one of the characters in it was reading the exact same book I am now!

At the moment I am reading "The Worry Cure" by Robert L. Leahy and soon will be starting "The Worry Solution" by Martin Rossman M.D.

Before I read "Overcoming Health Anxiety" by Rob Willson and David Veale. It helped much.

Full Catastrophe Living - Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness, by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

This book is my anxiety bible. After the first chapter you'll be addicted - in a good way!

My therapist recommended The Anxiety Workbook. I don't recall the author, but it was very helpful.
