In their words
People who were exactly where you are.
I'm a nurse, so I should know better than to Google symptoms. But health anxiety doesn't care about your profession. Robert's book helped me understand that I wasn't crazy or weak — I was just human.Amanda R., RN — Boston, MA
I used to google every headache, convinced I had a brain tumor. Robert's 4-second technique literally saved my sanity. I haven't googled a symptom in 6 months!
Sarah M. — Seattle, WARobert gets it. Every embarrassing Google search, every 3 AM panic attack — he's been there. This book is like having a friend who understands.
Tom S. — Denver, COMy husband bought this for me after I had my third panic attack in a week. Best gift ever. I feel like myself again for the first time in years.
