Where Anxiety Ends. A Psychological Novel-Therapy about the Freedom Gained by a Person as They Overcome Anxiety, Fears, and Panic Attacks

Imagine being able to witness therapy sessions of people struggling with the same fears as you. See how they stumble, doubt, but still find the strength to move forward. This is what you will read in the therapy-novel — a unique format from a practicing psychotherapist and bestselling author on dealing with anxiety. Instead of dry theory — live stories, feelings, and insights of the main characters: Marina, who hasn’t left her home for three years; Oleg, who has destroyed himself through perfectionism; Anna, who was afraid to trust even herself. You will see not only their fears, but also how they gradually learn to hear anxiety — not as an enemy, but as an inner teacher. This book does not offer instant healing, but it contains proven methods of CBT, REBT, and schema therapy, which you will see in the context of real lives. You will learn not only "what to do," but also "why it is so difficult" — and, most importantly, "how to find the strength to try," even when it seems that there is no way out.

This is not a magic pill. It is an invitation on a journey — to the place where anxiety ends… and real life begins.

In this book, you will find:

• not theory, but real experience: stories of characters in which you will recognize yourself — with all the fears, doubts, and attempts to break free;

• proven CBT, REBT, and schema therapy techniques woven into the narrative in such a way that you don’t just read about them, but see how they help in reality;

• answers to the question "Why do even the best advice fail in moments of panic?" — and what really prevents you from applying what you already know;

• a new attitude toward anxiety: you will stop seeing it as an enemy and hear it as a signal about suppressed feelings and hidden needs.
