Holder, PhD, director at Duke Occupational Mental Health Programs, leadership and life coach-consultant, and author of Mastering Life's Adventures: On the Beam Countless clients with anxiety ask about a book that will teach their partners about anxiety and offer suggestions for how to help.

This is a must-get book for anyone loving someone with anxiety. --Annette R. Perot, PhD, licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders This is a very easy-to-read book that provides a clear understanding of the ways that anxiety affects relationships. As Kate N. Thieda points out, good communication is critical in any successful relationship--and especially one that is hampered by anxiety. This book presents readers with important information on how to use effective communication strategies and other techniques for improving relationships impacted by these problems. --Jonathan S. Abramowitz, PhD, ABPP, professor and associate chair of psychology at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, director of the UNC Anxiety and Stress Disorders Clinic As an anxiety disorder specialist, I frequently see my clients' loved ones at their wits' end--not knowing what to do, how to help, or how to cope. If your loved one suffers from anxiety, I strongly encourage you to read this book. --Julie Pike, PhD, licensed psychologist and expert in the treatment of anxiety disorders For the person whose loved one has anxiety, or for the person with anxiety himself or herself, Kate N. Thieda's book is practical and solution-oriented. Especially reassuring is that the author blames no one, nor does she claim to teach the reader how to 'fix' anyone. She offers both understanding of the anxious behavior and tools to change one's response to it. --Kristi Webb, PsyD, licensed psychologist, DBT therapist, and a specialist in depression, anxiety, and trauma
