“Esther Goldstein’s book addressing how to work with anxiety is a treasure trove of wisdom, warmth, understanding, and encouragement. She has drawn from multiple sources to give the reader clear, practical tools to help them identify and work through anxiety—from the past and in the present. This is a great resource for people to use on their own or as part of their therapy process. Beautifully done.” —Lynette S. Danylchuk, PhD, clinical psychologist, and past president of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (Lynette S. Danylchuk, PhD)

“Esther offers a welcome and long-awaited addition to the field of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Anxiety—so often at the core of many diagnostic presentations—is frequently overlooked, under the assumption that once trauma is resolved, it will simply fade away. Yet these same cases often reappear in consultation, leaving therapists searching for answers to why clients continue to struggle. Esther provides a clear theoretical framework to deepen understanding of anxiety and practical, integrative strategies to address its roots. This book serves as a valuable toolkit for EMDR therapists, and a supportive guide for clients engaging in their own healing process.” —Elizabeth Davis, MS, LCAT, ATR-BC, director of Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute, and coauthor of EMDR and Creative Arts Therapies (Elizabeth Davis, MS, LCAT, ATR-BC)

“EMDR for Anxiety is a brilliantly accessible guide for anyone navigating anxiety. It clearly explains what anxiety is, how it develops, and—most importantly—how to transform your relationship with it. This book offers a compassionate road map for understanding, responding to, and ultimately clearing anxiety. I recommend it to anyone living with anxiety—and to every therapist who supports them." —Robin Shapiro, LICSW, psychotherapist, clinical consultant, lecturer, and editor of EMDR Solutions and EMDR Solutions II (Robin Shapiro, LICSW)
