Despite skyrocketing numbers of people affected by these conditions, current medical treatments are deeply flawed and often simply don’t work. This book offers a different way to understand and overcome your anxiety or depression. Cutting-edge research shows that stressful or traumatic life events can create patterns in the brain that may be advantageous at first but, in the long run, can pose barriers to achieving emotional health. Dr. Schubiner has developed a unique program to help you understand whether this model applies to you and guide you to reverse these patterns that have led to anxiety or depression. The program in this book will guide readers through a step-by-step approach to recovery. The techniques that are used include a new understanding of their symptoms, powerful behavioral interventions, emotional processing, therapeutic writing, meditation, and everything else needed to unlearn anxiety and depression. Reviews: “DR. SCHUBINER'S BOOK EXPERTLY AND SENSITIVELY guides the reader through the latest advances in neurosciences, which he meaningfully integrates with years of clinical experience. Reading this book and following its recommendations will help many people overcome their struggles with anxiety and depression.” -- Eric Sherman, PsyD, co-author, Pathways to Pain Relief “IN THIS BOOK, DR. SCHUBINER DOES for anxiety and depression what he so convincingly did for chronic pain. He shows how these common symptoms are generated by problems in the experience and expression of emotions, and how these symptoms can be “unlearned” by corrective emotional experiences. His perspective and intervention recommendations can reshape not only your life and your health, but also the way our society and health care system deal with anxiety and depression.”

I wholeheartedly recommend Unlearn Your Anxiety and Depression as a self-directed guide for recovery from these common conditions.”
