Summary
Dr. Archibald Hart has written many books connecting the domain of anxiety and stress and its negative impact on the physical body. He brings the unseen world of hormones and chemical reactions which take place in our body and mind alive in this book called, The Anxiety Cure. He then presents the unseen anxiety and the physical anxiety which is often revealed through panic attacks out for all to see.
Dr. Hart reveals a workable plan of implementing not only preventive measures for personal stress reduction but also detailed instructions for applying stress reduction into the Christian counselor practice. Dr. Hawkins (n.d.) from Liberty University suggests that Dr. Hart is one of the main contributors in Christian counseling who examines the impact stress and anxiety have on the physical body.
This book will be of great interest for anyone in the Christian therapy profession, including counselors, psychologist or psychiatrist. This book will also be of great service for pastors and lay counselors with in our churches who are tending to the flocks. This book on anxiety cures is a great insight for family and friends into the world of those who struggle with anxiety issues. Most importantly this book will be a shelter in the storm for those who ride the storms that blow with winds of panic, waves of depression, lightning bolts of anxiety, and the deafening roar of thunder of panic attacks.
This book can really be great reading for almost everyone who has stress or anxiety in their lives. This book not only is a huge asset for those who are already in the belly of the beast and struggling to be free from panic attack or disorders but actually has donated many of its pages to stress and anxiety prevention. Chapter ten lists in the section stress busting your life is a stress prevention list that everyone living in today’s world can implement all or most of these points. 1.) Set and maintain boundaries in your life. 2.) Quick conflict resolution. 3.) Take care of those disagreeable tasks first. 4.) Build up a resistance against stress in your life. 4.) Set and stick to de-stressing recovery periods. 5.) Arrest arousal of your adrenal when not needed. 6.) Develop and maintain healthy, open relationships. 7.) Learn the joy of saying, NO. 8.) Know that stressful time is not the correct time to make major decisions. 9.) Identify and use your spiritual resources to de-stress your life.
Dr. Hart takes each sometimes controversial topic associated with Christian counseling, stress and the human body and breaks it down into easily digested bites of information. He explains the scientific research and recently developments made with the hormones and messengers which travel within our body. He identifies the happy messengers as they work and the ability to increase their productivity both naturally and pharmaceutically in chapter 15. He also helps readers to see the bad or sad messengers and how they work and shows step by step instructions based on scientific research and Dr. Harts many years of experience.
Two whole chapters (5 & 6) are devoted to explaining the need for anxiety medication at certain times. He is also quick to point out the times when medication is useless, such as with phobias or separation anxiety (p.72). Dr. Hart writes on the proper usage, starting point, discontinuance of medication and the need for cognitive therapy along with medication. He also list several of the popular anxiety medications, the way the work, the reason they work, the possible side effects and suggested dosages.
There are many topics covered in this book and Dr. Hart covers each one in a logical sequence always giving suggestions of ways all readers can help elevate stress and anxiety. Some of the topics are the dangers of worrying, the need for rest and relaxation, the importance of changing your thinking habits, meditation, honoring the Sabbath, sleeping habits, anxiety in children and many more. Dr. Hart also has kindly offered many other resources that can work along with this book to combat stress and winning the war with anxiety.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Dr. Hart is a list man, and his list are well organized and very easily understood as they lead your step by step in the direction he wants to take you in. He not only claims to believe in what he is writing but confesses to living it and this truth is revealed in his writing style the freedom he displays through his low stress lifestyle. Dr. Hart does not make this goal of a low stress life style a long shot at the moon, yet an easy to grasp adaption of some very clear biblical principle, such as the story found in Luke ten of Mary and Martha (p. 257).
Through no fault of the author, this book deals with a rapidly changing field of anxiety and…
