“Fears, phobias, and even excessive use of drugs and alcohol can be fuelled by people’s fears of feeling anxious or uncomfortable. Watt and Stewart teach readers to confront their discomfort and fear head-on rather than constantly fight these feelings. The strategies described in the book are based on sound scientific research. Anyone whose biggest fear is fear itself should read this book!” —Martin M. Antony, Ph.D., ABPP, professor of psychology at Ryerson University in Toronto, ON, Canada, and author of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook “Watt and Stewart have produced an important, timely, and clinically meaningful volume addressing the fear of fear. Their book is highly logical, linear, and clear in its presentation. The case vignettes help illustrate the role of fear of fear in the day-to-day lives of people and show how it can impact their lives. The clinical intervention strategies are steeped in evidence-based theory and are easy to understand and follow. Overall, there can be no doubt that this book will be an instrumental resource for researchers, teachers, clinicians, and the general public.” —Michael J. Zvolensky, Ph.D., Richard and Pamela Ader Green and Gold Distinguished Full Professor in the department of psychology at the University of Vermont and director of the Anxiety and Health Research Laboratory and Clinic “Watt and Stewart have written an easy-to-use guide for those who want to reduce the anxiety and stress in their lives.
